Dante's inferno--Cruiser zaps me even after I kill

Hi guys. On mission 25, I blast the umbilicals, and then blast the hell out of the crusier with deadshots, until it starts to explode and is no longer on my contact list.
The problem is that it still is able to use its disrupter. It even cuts right to using the disrupter, so it will skip from like 95% to 100%. One time it LDSed about 100km away and then disrupted. Any hints?
Thanks

The script keeps counting after the Cruiser is destroyed, until the actual avatar blows up. Make sure you are killing it as fast as possible - I find that dual cutters work best here.

Other than that, its a scripting glitch. If you arent running the latest patch (14.6), do so. You could also find a savegame at this point in the game and run from that.

Thanks alot. I'll try to blast it quicker a couple of times; failing that I'll do the save game.
Thx.
