Thanks for the report, I'll keep an eye out. Probably not to do with mods, but couldn't rule that out. Is this something you can reliably reproduce?

i think it only appears when allies want to reinforce and im reinforcing and seems to be something with allies and mostly happens when im attacking a orbital station.

aka i deploy frigate then allies reinforce then i want to deploy something again but the glitch happens

or something to do with map boundaries with save corruption?

Hmm. Might be mod-related, then, since I'd imagine if this was a widespread issue, it'd have come up before now.

(Don't think it could be related to savegames in any way, btw...)

You're not rapidly deploying ships one at a time, are you?

Nexerelin (previously SWP or DynaSector) does some things with the battle map generation that may influence the issue. Could it be ships trying to avoid spawning on asteroids or even dust/ice balls that somehow end up extending far beyond the map boundaries?

I'll see if I can find the time to investigate.

If that's the case, I can explain it.

I mentioned this reinforcement issue to Alex a couple of weeks ago when I found the bug, and asked him what might have been causing this behavior.
The bug is actually a vanilla bug, but you won't find it happening in a vanilla game. What is happening, is that every time  a ship spawns, the game moves the spawning point a bit further back to avoid collisions, this change degrades over time. The issue is, this is happening with any type of ship spawning, not just from reinforcements, so the Atlatl is causing this due to constant non stopping drone spawning, thanks to equipped weapons and its shipsystem.

Alex has fixed it for the next game update, but there's not much I can do about it on my end, besides reducing how often you can use those weapons or the shipsystem, which is something I've done on the dev version, although I might revert the changes since they will not be needed after the update.
Anyway,  if you're using Dronepod weapons on an Atlatl it might be best to remove them for the time being, it won't remove the problem entirely but it will make it less noticeable.
