[QUESTION] Modding Carrier Subordinate Behavior

[CloneSargaent]

Is it possible to add more subordinate roles like a bomber role? Like intercept but for targeting capital ships instead of fighters.

Sure, just make a script which codes what exactly you want the ship to do. You can add it to the UI too and it will use the script you designed.

I'm also interested in doing this. Let's say I have an aiscript that I want the subordinate the follow. How do I add an option into the subordinate role selection to assign the default order to all ship in that group as well as group them together into a separate wing? I assume this will involve using an md script but I have no idea where to start. I tried to look through existing mods for example but didn't have any success. Maybe you can point to a mod that had customized the subordinate role selection so we can see how it's done. Or maybe the file(s) in the base game that govern subordinate roles.

Thank you much

[edit]
I found assignments.xml in libraries/ that seems to define assignments.
lib.request.orders.xml and order.assign.commander.xml in aiscripts/ that can create orders based on which type of assignments a ship is assigned to.
what I still need help finding is where does it define which which assignments a commander can have. I looked in the ship-specific macros but didn't see any thing related.

It's in ui -> addons -> ego_interactmenu -> menu_interactmenu.lua. Lines 3190-3222
I also found what limits interception's targets: order.fight.escort.xml -> Line 192
