At present, does the Xenothreat fleet work together with the capital ships to focus on threats to the Idris first? How much do they work together as a fleet?

At the moment, I think they have a very base-level fleet behavior in the mind of defend a target, and that target is their Idris, essentially. So all the fighters and all their retinue will be there to defend the Idris. But in the future, we're looking to expand on this with some actual awareness of a captain of a battle group, and they can dictate orders to their retinue and go, okay, right, focus this target. And then you start to have all the fighters pull over to harass the Javelin to take its eye away from the Idris and stuff like that. So we're working to further iterate group-defined behaviors rather than just a singular AI.
