Not sure this is the right forum for this, but it doesn't seem like a technical support issue quite yet.
In short, in the last couple patches I feel like my ships will sometimes lose their movement orders and idle (usually after entering a system through a wormhole), typically when giving them orders to move several planets away through the map screen. This is not an engine damage issue, as once I find them and reissue the order, they move normally.
Also in our multiplayer games, we noticed ships on FRD were sometimes being flaky about targeting and pursuing uncloaked Spire Stealth Battleships.
In our time playing up 'til now, the ship control AI has impressed us with its competence, so this frustrating behavior stands out as being pretty unusual. I'm not sure if I'm just starting to notice these issues more as I get better with the game, or if a recent update has caused the AI to become sentient, and shortly thereafter, evolve laziness.
P.S. if this is not a known issue, I will try to find a save that demonstrates it, or reproduce it in more detail, but at this stage I'm working on the assumption it's a known issue or simple user error ("but I just KNOW I told those bombers to move, I swear!". Just wanting to confirm/get feedback before I start shouting things at my units that I'll regret later.
P.P.S. My internet connection has been somewhat unreliable of late, could that be causing this somehow?
