Default Ships equipped with Gravitational Condensor running away during battle?

Here's the scenario, I equip one of my baseships with a Gravitational Condensor and Collapser (so I can open and close wormholes) and also equip it with a repair module (so I can continually do this). I then equip it with some weapon. However, when I send this ship into battle and have it battle automatically (strategy), it just runs to the corner instead of fighting (it does have weapons, it's not like it's a colony ship or something). Does anyone know how to turn this behavior off? I know I could go into tactical but it gets repetitive after a while.

Do you really want your precious warp manipulation ships engage in combat where they may be destroyed?? I wouldn't do that.

If you put PD weapons on it (only), there's your problem. If other weapons, then I'd look to see if it is breaking formation and what its default strategy is then. Otherwise, I don't know.

Check the strategy assigned to this ship. i bet it is "do not get hurt" ! Change it to "optimal firing range" or somethething like that.
