Your ships in a fleet with the default ship and fleet orders (Optimal range) do not fire in comabat?

I've noticed that if I break a treaty and try to attack in the same turn that my ships will (sometimes? always?) close with the enemy but not attack/fire. Is this a possibility in your case? It was a glitch I noticed in pre-gold, so maybe this isn't your problem.

no the combat in question was with an empire I've never had any treaty with.

the weapons I had were Borg Ripper beams. Although I also noticed this in a different game when a Romulan fleet under human control attacked me and didn't fire. I think I had it happen when playing the Feds too.
