Attack Orders in Simultaneous Play

With the ships it could be sentry orders. If they have been ordered to sentry they don't move. It could also be AI messing with your empire. Are you using any ministers?

Another thing that will make drones stop is if they lose sight of their target, either because it's been destroyed or because it warped to a system that you can't see into.

I checked, no ministers running.

And for the ships, I've never used sentry. It just seems like they're reluctant to leave orbit. If I tell them to move one square, then see, all is well.

Ah well, I figured that a few drones could protect a system, but it seems that anti-ship drones are only useful if the attack the actual planet... Of course, as soon as the enemy saw all the drones launch, he parked one square off the planet and waited for them to die.

It DID give me enough time to get my fleet there and wipe him out though. So they were somewhat useful in the end...
