I know it's annoying to ressurect old threads, but...

I just had the exact same thing happen to me.
Brood event was on the first planet I explored, so Ravians were showing up right away.
The second planet I explored had the mirror, so I just ran up the middle till Ravians got to Glory, then mirrored back and explored the near-glory area while they headed back down from where I dumped them at the top of the map.

I got better weapons and brought the klakar to Glory. Then I twiddled my thumbs. I hit the play button to speed time up till the first Ravian fleet arrived... and instead it just froze.

Eventually it dumped me back out on the desktop.
