Hive ships stuck in a loop near star, zero power and threat for planetary bases

[Captain Chris]

I'm playing DSP modded, so that shouldn't be the cause of the issue since I only have AlterTheFog installed, but I checked the two bases that are on my homeworld and they have completely run out of power. I only just noticed, but there are probably like 50 ships near the star that are doing a figure 8 loop near the hive. So I think unless those ships break free, I am safe from the Dark Fog.

For my settings, I have everything set to max except the starting level as I've been really struggling to get a foothold in the early game.

Unless the gravity of the star is an issue, I have no clue how to fix this, as I've tried multiple times restarting my game to no avail.

Those are barges for picking up resources from the planets.

Did you shoot down the relay stations that hover over those planetary bases?
They're what supplies the base with power; so if you shoot them down the base stops getting power (and it stops sending materials to the space hive).

(It also angers the space hive, and may cause it to send ships to bombard your planet)

Often if you settle only the outer planets on a system, they'll happily ignore you and keep sending their barges back/forth to the first few planets where they have relays and you can remain at peace with them on 0.00% threat. Doesn't explain why they have no power though.
