Default ship captains prone to panic

In the tutorial scenario I had numerous TF's ignore orders and flee SW or NE in off map directions rather than go to specified ports. I assume all these are due to low aggression etc settings on default captains, hence the advice to replace all captains asap? All idle selectable captains seem to work. Lot of timorous sailors out there. Is this a design feature?

It is the task force threat setting. If you really want the task force to get there, then it needs an absolute setting.
