Could we get an ESCORT tag for SUPPORT fighters?

Something which tells them they should hover in front of the ship, actively screening and taking hits like they do when their ally vents or overloads. Would be a useful tag for several mod fighters.

Maybe even regular crewed fighters. There was that tale of a heroic Japanese fighter taking a torpedo for his carrier.

SUPPORT fighters are usually crewed. At least, Xyphos are and they're the only vanilla SUPPORT fighter.

Mining pods aren't SUPPORT, but I don't see why this couldn't be used for them as well.
