Guard Tight option needed
Often when fighters/bombers are ordered to guard a ship they will race off to intercept any hostile that gets too close. But ‘too close’ seems to quite far away, which can lead to escorting fighters leaving the vessel they are supposed to be guarding alone and vulnerable. (And sometimes leading the escorting fighters getting killed too by getting mixed up in fights they are not able to win by themselves without warship fire support.)
An option for ‘Tight Guard’ or similar from the comms menu (and in Fred under initial orders) would be welcomed. Ideally with Tight Guard selected the escorting fighters / bombers would stay close to the vessel they are guarding and only attack hostile fighters, bombers and warheads that have gotten to with say 500-1000 meters.
Is this doable?
