Fighters not engaging

What would cause fighters of the same construction (components and ship hull) not engage automatically when in the combat sim?

I set up an exact ship/component in stock and Balance mod and they engage automatically. In the BSG mod they run away unless you command them to fly to target area where they eventually engage.

Empire settings for Fighters is Point Blank

That can happen when the unit type doesn't exist in the strategies file - for some reason the default vs unknown is not "attack" but "fleeeeeee!!!". Are they still called Fighters?
