I still want the option of SE4 style Steel Cage Combat.

If you want to retreat, you should have to stick it out until the time runs down. Then move on.
None of this wussy running away for GGmod... Manly, stand up slugging matches I say!

The worst part of retreating is that you just keep retreating. Equal speed ships can't catch you, and you can retreat all the way to the enemy homeworld then attack.
