AI in fleet battles, dropping sails and not moving.

[B15hop]

It happens frequently where I kill every ship off that has sails up and I wonder..  "Why the mission didn't end?"

Then I look at the list of living AI and see there are two ships alive. They just decided to drop their sails across the map and now I have to sail 50 minutes to get back upwind to them.. Please make AI not drop their sails as if they have been captured.. Thank you.

Might I suggest not sailing downwind too eagerly?

So I think we can consider this topic a duplicate.
