This happens with my fleet at speed 111 as well.
Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Most likely reason green crew aren't dieing is the ship isn't using them during battle. Your ships use your most experienced crew first, the green ones will only be loaded on ships if you don't have enough more experienced crew.
Maybe it's not the player but the ship designer who has control over that.
For ships like the conquest you need to force a fight, but on your terms, so you want to make sure ALL the enemies are on one side of you so you don't get flanked.
I dunno man, there are times when the spinal torpedoes are VERY important to have. But yeah, I agree that in general you should try to use the broadside to your advantage.
Yeah, the AI is pretty remarkable except when one lone frigate goes off and dies against three frigates and two destroyers while the rest of my fleet is elsewhere not even engaging the enemy's main force...
Happens sometimes when you don't give any orders and just go with the flow. IMO all ships should default to escorting the flagship.
