I thought this problem was fixed, but ships can, for some reason, go WAY outside of the grav well (as in my current save). What a pain in the butt!!
not for me; in the original, unupdated Sins, I got from one Gwell to anotherwith my entire fleet, and the AI couldn't do a thing about it.
thing of it is, i give them "hold position orders" close to the planet but on their own they somehow slink off way out of the grav well.
I've had this happen twice. Recently, with a Cobalt, which i scuttled and replaced. The FIRST one however, was a level 4 Kol, and was slap-ass halfway between 2 gravwells, and took me 20 mins to get back. idk what causes it, but in that case, it was annoying as hell.

Personally i think its cool, but i can see how some people might get aggravated. Still, it mixes up the games, that and the over the planet or under the planet moves.
This happened in my XL planets mod, but i had increased the grav well sizes 5 or 10 times, the planets were all hills and valleys peaked, which also made it cool, at least for me. I would like to see this as an option though, so we could choose to go slower than lightspeed to pull a fleet out of a grav well and fight in open space.
I notice this happens too in the regular game when ships are set to aggressive, and in effect chase enemy ships out of the well as they try to escape, other than that, i haven't been able to get my own ships to leave the grav well on purpose. But it seems the chase, and also the jump function, according to whatever angle they try to jump will sometimes push them way out of the well.
Anyway, just some observations and some opinions.
Take care,

My Kol, yes. It was a chace...but the cobalt turned its nose sraight down and said "FK this, i'm outa here!" (lolz...not really, but it went for it...too far for me to be willing to salvage...

Story of my life the computer will jump over where I have a starbase and stop half way in the phase lane and open up out of reach...... No matter what I do I cant get that damn starbase to be the welcoming party

Build thrusters for Starbase like advent and vasari, so I can move around and chase its victums
Uhhh...Advent can move????????? (Don't think so...)
Though it would be an interesting research...Make it so we can research to move, and vasari can research to improve their move speed...
