Another problem with retreating from combat

How will that help the defense?
Unless fighters are super powerful and uberfast, and tough enough to take PD fire from a fleet of retreating enemies even while facing any fighters the enemy sends...

All I ask for is a toggle option in settings.txt to prevent retreat. Let them fall back for a while if they have artillery, but eventually they'll have to face the music head on.

Fighters are for the benefit of single ships.

If the enemy insists on making a bee-line for a planet, then your ships should be defending the planet. It would make more sense for them to tackle the fleet seperately, not try and attack them both at the planet.
