Currently the behavior for allies to a station in a battle is to wait behind the station, somewhat preventing the enemy from surrounding it but mostly just waiting for the station to die before joining the battle (or more likely retreating) with only a few ships occasionally flying out towards the fight. I think they should at least position themselves to the side of the station, narrowing the enemy attack arc and getting more opportunities to shoot. Going in front may be counterproductive since it would block the station's lines of fire but the sides or slightly ahead of the sides should work?

What's the reasoning behind the current positioning?

See the following thread:

Current behavior is due to having a single Defend order behind the station for AI allies, which will be changed to orders on the station's flanks to avoid the current issue.

To avoid crowding... Yeah, defence orders to the sides would be much better.
