Space Empires V FAQs
Since the game-crashing space battles seem to be caused by fleeing ships, I now have a few questions:
1. Can I manually kill an ongoing battle in any way? Or do I always have to wait for the AI referee to decide when it is over?
2. How does the AI referee decide the fight is over? It seems inconsistent - sometimes it lets me pursue for 5 minutes before I can fire a shot, other times it cancels the game just before I catch them, etc. And do ground battles have the same rules?
Thanks!

I have not found a way to manually kill a battle and as far as I know the AI appears to have several conditions on stopping a fight but like you I have no clue what they are. One thing you can do early on is go into the sector view and position your ships next to the enemy before starting the battle. This will end the endless chase. You have to do it on the second or third battle because after a few turn the gap is so but it’s a pain to move your ships.
