UE fighters won't fight!

I've read the FAQ's.
I've read and reread the preferences.
I cannot figure out how to get my UE Fighters to fight for me.
I have a brand new UE Cruiser (which I hate) and it comes with five fighters who, once you dispatch them, do nothing but fly next to you. I capture ships and they go running after anything that might be a threat. These guys are part of my crew and they won't do squat.
Please, somebody tell me what button I'm not pressing.

Target the enemy ship and press "F".

Welcome to the boards.
