AI formation leader gets stuck
 

I just saw the silliest battle between a big Ukra fleet and a single Krill torpedo ship. The Ukra formation leader got stuck between my planet and the dozen or so yard bases around it. The whole formation stalled out of range while the Krill ship torpedoed them at leisure. They had PD so nobody got hurt though. The point is that the AI formation leader needs to learn how to backup when blocked, or better yet not get blocked by planets/bases in the first place.
Anybody else see something like this happen ?

I've seen the formation leader get blocked at the edge of the screen. Good thing to or they would have wiped me out.
You would think there would be some routine to prevent something like this from happening.

Ive had my fleets stuck on the edge of the screen to. damn annoying when u are trying to glass a planet and have to manually do the first few movements so the ai can take over

although as Marty pointed out, if u dont want the enemy to reach u its not a bug, it becomes a useful feature...

It isn't a great problem in tactical combat (you can always maneuver to "free" the AI ships), but once I had my fleet locked up on the map border in a PBeM game... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif
