Nanite swarms not attacking

I'm noticing that, especially after re-loading a saved game, my Greater Nanite Swarms and Combat Nanite Swarms are no longer attacking.  they move into position, but don't shoot.

The other two types of nanite swarms seem to be doing their jobs.  Anyone else seeing this?

I have seen at least corvettes and fighters idling in the midst of combat at several occasions, even in beta 3.

In large fleets, I have also seen an attack-and-idle pattern, with fighters and/or corvettes split in 2 groups, where one group moves and attacks while the other idles, then the attacking group stops attacking and moving, and the first group starts it. They switch back and forth the attack and idle roles until I set a target queue manually. That was on beta 2c, I haven't found it yet on beta 3.

The weapon particles on these is very small. They may be firing but you won't notice it unless you're zoomed in close.

I zoomed in as close as I can and noticed they don't fire at all. There is also no ability visible when you select the swarm, which is unlike the asault nanite and support nanite swarms (they show an ability in the upper left square when selecting them).
