Have the AI Command Box Switch to Command of the Drone

Currently the command box defaults to whatever the previous command used was. Instead of this, switch it to whatever the selected drone is currently doing. This way when you change drones the drone command box switches to what that drones current command is. It just seems to make more sense to set it up this way instead, if possible that is.

Typically you can tell what task the AI is performing by the action (I.E. searching for asteroid) but I do agree that it would be helpful if the actual task switched as well. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that a bunch of new variables storing order values for each bot would have to be added. Not sure how hard it would be. It would be convenient, I agree, but not necessarily a top of the line priority given the additional triggering it would likely take.

In short, sounds annoying to do, would love to have it still. xD

I think it's easy to do. I'll look into it.

Edit: It was easy, it'll be in the next patch.
