Just because YOU can see THEM doesn't mean THEY can see YOU; and if they can't see you, no battle occurs. In other words, both sides have to have sufficient sensors to see the other for a battle to occur. Since a nebula is like "always on" cloaking, and you'd have to decloak to attack, the colony ship passes right by your ships, even if you have sufficient sensors to penetrate the nebula and detect enemy ships.
