Feature Request - AI Order handling
I have been waiting for .12 final because I don't want it rushed through, I want it tested before it's put into anything like a final, because this might be kinda complicated..

Basically, at the moment, when you order an AI to disable, disarm or destroy a subsystem on a target this sets off a sort of global flag against that target protecting it from friendly ships destroying it (including capitals), this breaks WiH in a few places, but it's annoying generally as a concept as well, just because pilots want to focus on a specific part of the ship first, doesn't always mean they're trying to capture it or not destroy it.

I was wondering therefore, if you guys wouldn't mind adding a flag for each of these orders to go in ai profiles that lets you turn this functionality off...
Hopefully, it'll be easy, but who knows... :< what do you think?

and after everything we've seen here maybe even more.
I know we're not the only ones, and we were not the first,
and unapologetically we'll stand behind each word."

War in Heaven needs this so that we can actually allow disarm/disable orders without breaking our missions.  :(

Didn't I fix this already? :p

I know I need to add the FRED stuff but at the level of a global switch, this should already be done. If it's not. Tell me where it's still broken.

I believe we can't alter those settings without destroying backwards compatibility with FS2 retail, which Fury wants to maintain.
