Thats what I say also. In SE III you could do just that. Idon't know why Aaron tossed it out.

While I am not opposed to the idea of retreat in principle, I have yet to hear a suggestion for how it could be implemented that I like. Simply allowing ships to reach the edge and withdraw as they could in SEIII would be fine for turn-based games, but it would have some serious issues in simultaneous turn games. Since you can't change orders in mid turn and allow a retreating ship to go on it's way, you could very easily pull an enemy fleet way out of position by giving your ship a retreat order.
