Summary0011073: Deep strike threat messages generated when not deep striking
DescriptionTwice within a few minutes in my latest game, I have gotten the deep strike threat message without having any ships more than one hop away from a planet I control. The planets appeared on my galaxy map as if I had visited them, but were not scouted.

I'm not sure if any actual threat was generated, but shortly after that message a small fleet of Mark IV ships came to reinforce a planet I was attacking. I've attached the save from right after the second time it happened.

Sounds like you might have finally gotten a reproducible case of a "ships seem to teleport to the middle of nowhere" bug that still hits from time to time.

It happened again, and this time it triggered a Core Raid Engine. I was able to fight off the response, but it definitely wasn't welcome.

I have been using Leech Starships and reclaiming quite a few teleport battle stations. Maybe it has something to do with reclamation? I don't have any other teleporting units.

Reclaimed ships are supposed to lose their orders on being reclaimed, so they don't continue on their previous course.

Perhaps when retreating due to the speed of teleporters, they are able to get out of system before their orders are wiped and the game then can't find them to wipe the orders? The result could be that you have a new ship that instantly runs off and causes you trouble because it moves faster than the game can keep up with.

Just a guess on my part, but I've seen similar behavior before with other reclaimed ships, where they might continue slightly in the original direction before changing course.
