I'm having some difficulties with ship capture in simulation mode. My boarding ship successfully lands a boarding party, and then just sits there, duking it out with the boarded ship.

Two questions:
1) Isn't boarding supposed to resolve during combat? A good half-minute went by, and there was no change in the ship status with respect to either the crew or the boarding party. Maybe it's just a limitation of the simulator?
2) Is there a way to make the boarding ship flee after boarding takes place? There's no sense in having the ship sit there getting pummeled after it drops its payload
