I can't attack Remnant drone fleets with only Lumen-class droneships (with phase skimmers) that sometimes exist in systems with low-level warning beacons. They'll never actively attack me and stay listed as "dormant", however if I try to attack them they always retreat (and never assist each other) and unless they have a ship with slower than 140 base speed (such as one with a degraded engines d-mod) the "Pursue them" option is always greyed out even when I have SO Lashers and Wolves in my fleet. I can only "Let them go" or "Harry their retreat", and even if I harry their retreat over and over until their CR drops to 0 the "Pursue them" option is still greyed out.

Example where I have a fleet of only frigates, harried them until their CR was 0, and still can't pursue them:

Another example where I have a fleet with destroyers and cruisers in it as well as the frigates, but I can pursue them because one of the ships isn't a Lumen:

I believe the ability to do the Pursue option is linked to Burn speed.  If all enemy ships have a faster burn speed than all your ships, then the enemy fleet can't be caught.  The Degraded Engines d-mod reduces the Burn speed, so that lets your ships catch up.

Hm. Possibly. If so, that would be nice to have as an addition to the tooltip or something to make it explicit - that it's burn speed rather than top combat speed.
