I'm not quite sure what happened on this one, but the AI seems to have gone mad, after most of the ships went through two smaller cargo ships for the refugee mission went past the gate and began to wobble back and forth. Not going through the gate either. It after leaving the area for a while one of the ships manages to go through but the second does not and continues its spinning. I'm not quite sure whats happened, but I cannot continue till I either blow it up or it goes through.

I found that a workaround is to somehow nudge it(I always use a tractor device). If it gets knocked off it's current course enough(try sideways) it should start moving towards the gate.

My im90 destroyed the ships with one hit, though my trinium cannon seemed to work fine with the nudge. :P

thanks for the tip

Yeah, I hate it when this happens. Especially when I'm using only energy weapons. :evil:
