When the game ends (objectives met), why doesn't it end?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I play military. Near the end of the game,
all AI's are gone and I have to keep hitting the space
bar to let my ships move. Eventually hit the turn button, do more
hitting the space bar. Takes about 5 min and then the victory screen
comes up. Is the extra time to help run your score up or what?

Why not give the victory screen when the last AI is gone?

That's so it can do the endgame save. You have to hit the turn button after you meet victory conditions. That way, you can reload the endgame save and view the results and/or post the game to Metaverse. One thing you can do to avoid all that spacebar business is to put all ships in some mode like guard or sentry. That way turns don't have modeless ships to wait on. Quickest way to do that is to hit the Find button and press G on all the ships it points to.
