Make sure the ship strategy is set to one of the offensive strategies. If it is set to don't get hurt it will run. Also a ship equipped with all PD weapons will turn and run if there are no enemy targets for it, no missiles or fighters.

Point blank is good on the offense. It keeps you in their face. Also, setting your "defenseless" ships (colony ships and transports) to ram can be very effective. If someone attacks you'll lose them anyway.
