When you cancel automove (by manually giving a ship orders), it stays off until/unless you turn it back on. In your case those ships just sat there because you didn't give them firing orders, at least, that's how it seems to me.

[Raapys]

Giving attack orders doesn't appear to make your ships fly into attacking position, though, so you have to give both movement and attack orders, and continue to update the movement orders as the enemy ships fly out of range.

It isn't a seek and attack order, just a targetting order.

You still have to manoeuver to bring your guns into range before they will fire.

[StarShadow]

Speaking of that though...I think a 'seek and attack' order might be a very good thing to have.

[Suicide Junkie]

Leave the movement AI on, and target manually?

[StarShadow]

True, that's just as good.

[Raapys]

It's sort of nice to have the ship automatically follow when choosing a target to attack though.
