I've had some issues of my fighters with 2 AP attacking an enemy mass driver ship, getting counterattacked, then counterattacking the counterattack, using up both its AP in the process. This means I can't choose use my second AP to target another enemy or use another Heavy Barrage.

I thought this was a bug too, because so often I would be tapping the xeno as the counter attack was happening. I believe it is intentional, however, after intentionally waiting for a counter attack amd seeing the ap drop anyway.

If I understand this correctly, that counter-attack chains can consume as much AP as the Reactor allows, then yes, this is intentional. If squee is saying that the game counter attacks multiple times from Ship A to Ship B and then from Ship A to Ship B again, this would be a bug. However, I cannot see how that would happen and no reports have been filed. |

Okay, so what I was talking about with ships getting locked in combat for a turn through the counterattack chain was intentional. My 2 AP fighter uses 1 AP to attack. Alien mass driver counterattacks. My fighter counterattacks the counterattack. End, fighter has 0 AP remaining. However, I would prefer to be able to use Heavy Barrage twice with that fighter (or possibly more with higher reactors, haven't researched everything yet) on my turn instead of being limited to automatically counterattacking (using normal gun attacks) with my remaining AP... |

That is intentional and part of the game's design. Here to stay!
Your counter-attack uses Heavy Barrage if it is the first talent in the design.
