Default How to stop ships retreating?

I set both movement options for retreating to false in the strategy "don't get hurt" and still these ships retreat from the combat sector to an adjacent sector, which is not at all what I want my non combat fleet support ships to do.
How can I stop this??
I know I can disable retreat completely for the game in the settings.txt but I would like this just for certain strategies/ships.

Check the retreat options to make sure they changed, first. There's a bug in 1.33 that won't let you change strategies very much.

Second, I think unarmed (or all weapons gone) ships run by default like in Se4, non-overrideable.

Yah, the only way to prevent unarmed ships from retreating is to put them inside a task force where an armed ship is the leader.

I really hate if you get this hard-coded override thing!
