Worst place to start a combat...

That's unusual. It seems that when I attack a planet, my fleet usually starts off near the edge of the combat area and it takes me a few combat turns just to get to the planet in the middle?

Which patches has this happened with? I've never seen that problem with planet attacks unless you have hundreds of ships so there is no room for them.

Was there a warp point over the planet?

Wow, i seem to always forget to mention patch/Mod. STM 1.5.1.1. with 1.9.1 installed.

I have had several bad fights because combat started to close to a plannet...
I had a wall formation and there was plenty of room...

i know what you mean. it just happened again... me vs a planet. i had 50 ships in a compact formation, they didn't have anything except 80 weapons platforms... and i started 9 spaces away from the planet.

in the amount of time i typed this message (2 mins) they've wiped out my entire fleet.

Were there more than 2 races participating in the combat? Weird things do happen when there are more.
