Default Re: Killing leader doesn\'t freeze AI ships

It's a random "feature". It doesn't have to be the fleet leader, but often is. I sent a comment about this to MM a while ago, but I haven't been able to nail anything down as to why the heck it happens, other than an AI ship going BOOM.

What happens, however, I do know. You fire on an AI ship, and it explodes. When that happens and you hit end turn, the turn number remains the same and you take the turn again, effectively giving you double firepower for a turn (or cutting down the reload on missiles nicely).
