this sounds strange, ships slow down when changing directions and they often do this once the attack triggers the action but they always speed up again once the get on new heading. you may have a glitch there, i can't say for sure but i think so. when i attack, the ships constantly speed up, slow down, change directions very much like real world would. what kind of realism settings are you using and what mods when you play, i'm sure someone can help you with this.

EDIT: are you sure these aren't neutral or allied ships?
