I've ran into a new bug with 1.2002, occasionally enemy ships aren't dying. They'll just spin around about to explode forever with no shields or hp. As far as I can tell this may have to do with your mercenaries or an NPC getting the killing shot. It seems to always occur when i'm rolling with Mercs.

It's not a huge deal and doesn't happen often, but during a large battle it's annoying to see my mercs shooting at something that 's been dead for like 5 minutes while my shields are down holding off the real enemy. xD

We are aware of that problem and are working on it. It should be fixed in the next patch. :)
