Infinitely long combat

I was testing a design with only engine damaging weapons, and I changed the time to 1/8th about 10 seconds from the 5 min time limit. It went past the 5 min limit, but it typically stops about 5 seconds after it anyway so it wasn't out of the ordianry. But then it went to 15 seconds past, then 30, then a minute, and it's still going minimized as I am typing this. Since my ship only has engine destroying weapons, and the other ship only has the basics, they are not able to complete combat by themselves, so it could go on forever for all I know.

I have quite a few screenshots if anyone would like to view them, one shot of each ship's components, their targeting, cargo, abilities, and status, along with a close up of the one ship attacking the other.
