[Only to find out after I win it just sits there zoomed in on my ship and does nothing]

Alright, I know im new, but I have no ability whatsoever at fighting in this game. I dont know why, or how, but I have never won one battle...except the very first one and barely at that. So Using this to set the earth cruiser to shoot super fast with low energy I find for my first time I beat somebody!! Only to find out after I win it just sits there zoomed in on my ship and does nothing...this is a bug I dont like at all.
