Ships milling around doing nothing? I have never seen that happen when playing strategically with large formations.
I've seen small and medium sized formations frozen in place because the leader can't figure out how to move around an obstacle. The worst I've ever seen was an incident where an intercept occurred with the fleets starting at bottom center and bottom right corner; the center fleet leader turned toward the enemy, then one entire half of the formation hung up against the edge of the map trying to wheel into position, and pretty much stayed pinned there until the other fleet closed and damaged the fleet leader enough to make it retreat rather than advance.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
