Ship status, stance, etc. must get calculated as a ship enters or leaves a star. This bug was noted because of an unusual happenstance. A player and I were allies when I placed fleets at his stars. Without moving ships, I kicked the player for inactivity, thus making him no longer an ally. It was expected that our fleets would now attack each other. They did not. To get a change of allegience, and therefore an attack to happen, another of my ships had to enter the star. This action was the only way to get the ships to fight. However, this reset only that star, not all ships everywhere. A very odd bug! I assume other previously allied ships would act the same and require a similar correction. This problem could conceivably cause a real headache with huge fleets and many stars.
