Suggestions / Revert behaviour of group ship right click to escort

Once again, I forgot this was changed 2 versions ago and I have no clue why. Currently it gives a defend order on the ship you click, but defend works really badly, ships will hover very far away barely "defending". It feels more like I'm saying to my ships "stick close but not too close". Escort at least makes a nice little death ball that defends each other.
I was reminded by this since I tried piloting the Invictus myself and wanted my other ships to stick close to me. But when they're hovering 2000 units away, and then get herded away from me by enemies, I end up basically all alone. Writing this now I wish I captured the command screen of my ship in the middle of 20 Remnants while my fleet is waaaaaaay outside. Looked like a meme template. Anyways the defend order is dumb and I honestly don't see a reason why would you use it when using Defend on a point works much better.
