Problem Description

At the moment, escorts provided by missions won't attack planetary tribute fleets. They'll attack other mission targets (so long as they're hostile to the player) just fine; mission targets seem to be the exception.

Related Issue Links

None that I know of.

Desired Solution

Most ideally, some sort of tag or toggle would be implemented, as I assume the current behaviour is meant as exploit prevention (no hiring colossal merchant fleets to swarm Greenrock).

Alternative Approaches

None that I can think of? Allowing control over (focus fire, move here orders) mission escorts would be nice, too; orders would be useful for directing merchant escorts to move out of the way.

Edit: As I've recently found out, NPC fighters/drones that dock with player ships cannot be deployed due to the inability to be given orders. Allowing players to command ships with the "escort" personality would hopefully fix this problem.
