I have no idea why it happens, but it happened for me occasionally. For a while I thought it might be an issue tied to autofire, but I tried with and without autofire on and I still got the problem from time to time. *sigh*
General theory is either "lag" or stupid mechanic which makes the game think that some tiny space object is blocking the vector or whatever between your ship and the target ship or mapmakers screwed up and left some tiny invisible space objects that blocks the vector or whatever between your ship and target ship.
I've died a few times because of this stupid thing because I'm escort and escort are papertigers but since there's no death penalty it doesn't really seem to matter. So I am just going to call it "working as intended game mechanic to frustrate players and slow down gameplay so they'll spend marginally more time to reach admiral before they get tired of the game"
