It can't be normal for a damaged NPC TIE fighter to be able to outrun an undamaged X-wing with 92.2 engine, especially when the TIE fighter shows 5% engine and no reactor value when I cycle through the subcomponents.
That was driving me crazy - damage a TIE fighter during a duty mission and it flees, with no regard to it's engine or reactor damage.
It seems if the reactor is destroyed without it having been targetted, the ship can still move and fire. If you target the reactor and disable it, it stops immediately.

This was while doing tier 4 destroy duty missions for Vortex squadron, in Dantooine sector.

Heh happends to me all the time. Twice this morning infact. No reactor, 30% or less on the engine. I usually target the reactor first but a 30% or 5% engine doesnt make a damn bit of difference to the NPC's. A undamaged engine vs an heavily damaged engine doesnt really make a very big difference to the NPC ships.
