This mod adds hullmods which alters NPC ship behavior for niche uses that vanilla orders don't cover.
Includes:
Always Regroup - Fighters will always regroup when ship is under NPC control.
Always Use Shields - Always use shields when ship is under NPC control. Only applies when enemies are within sensor range.
Always Use System - Always use system when ship is under NPC control. Only applies when enemies are within sensor range.

Do Not Use System - Prevents system usage when ship is under NPC control.
DownloadExample uses:
Throw "Always Use Shields" and "Always Use System" on a Monitor to prevent it from trying to attack enemies with its pitiful Flak Cannons and instead make it focus on tanking damage.
Whatever mod you have installed has a ship with a system that doesn't work too well in NPC hands but otherwise a capable ship.
Make any fighter wing act like a support fighter on NPC ships.
