Bug?  Not sure if that's the right way to describe it though...

Weapons only activate when a target is in range...once the weapon is activated, the weapon effects will last a pre-determined amount of time independent of whether the ship is still in range or not...most if not all weapons actually will still follow a ship leaving a gravity well, it's just that only beams are easily noticeable...

Thanks for the reply I just found it funny my ship was destroying ships even after they left my planet.

You'll also notice hundreds of volleys of missiles chasing after phase jump retreating ships as well if you have a lot of LRM's.

Happens with all weapon animations, beam weapons just make it more obvious.

 

It's pretty hilarious to watch something jump out when under fire from a lot of Illuminators.
