I take that BACK...AI seems to have gone on the fritz.
I order my wingman to gaurd a AWACS in an asteroid field and they go fyling off to infinity and beyon..WAAAY away from the ships they're supposed to protect..and it's pummeld by asteroids..
Then I ordered them to cover me..same behavior
Then I order them to attack a pirate wing..and all they do is fly around in circles, just like the pirates!!!!
FYI - this is my AI table:
