[0.97a-RC8] Ship ordered to 'direct retreat' doesn't

Despite the fact that the Tempest is a lot faster than the Enforcer and could have disengaged without difficulty, it continued to attack and even moved into the enemy's weapons range, resulting in its death.

Thanks for the report, made a note! IIRC it can take ships a few seconds to process that they have new orders, but still.

It should be noted that using waypoints is almost always faster and more reliable than using retreat or direct retreat orders.
