- Doing a bounty, I destroyed all but 1 ship. (a Wolf)
- The Wolf retreated from the battle.
- After the battle I pursued it, and using an emergency burn, was able to engage.
- However as I was slower (flying a solo Enforcer), I was only able to harry its retreat. (even though it had next to no CR)
- After this point I gave up the chase, expecting it to disperse to the planet (as they do ordinarily after being defeated in battle)
- However, it didn't disperse. I've been left with a lone Wolf buzzing around the planet too fast for me to destroy.

I guess the subsequent engagement & harassment interrupted/overwrote the ordinary 'flee to planet' behaviour?

:edit:

Not sure this is a new bug; probably just became more easily encountered due to the new fleet movement mechanics/ai behaviour/emergency burn capability?

Was that Wolf the original flagship? It'd make sense if that was the case; the bounty doesn't end because you didn't actually take out who it's on.

Yeah, that got me too at one point. Also with the "haha you can't force battle anymore" outcome. Ended up reloading an making a point of taking out the flagship first.
