I had this happen few times and can't find a way to reproduce it.
Seems to be linked to fleet being beaten in battle and it having mothballed ships, but doesn't seem to happen in every single pursuit.

Pursued fleet spawns way too far forward compared to normal pursuit. Battle area is also vastly increased in length.

Nexerelin has a modified BattleCreationPlugin (inherited from Starsector+) which may be causing it. I'll try updating or disabling it.

[Histidine]

Nexerelin v0.9.1g disables the custom battle plugin by default (and it should be fixed in the plugin if re-enabled).
Not sure why it happened to begin with. The custom plugin does scale the starting distance of the escaping fleet based on the force ratio of the two fleets involved, but you'd think someone would have encountered it before Starsector 0.9.1...

The vanilla code looks safe enough (it uses a constant escape start distance)

(Request for Alex: make variables and methods in BattleCreationPluginImpl protected instead of private)

(Done! This was older code before I'd started doing that by default...)
