Suggestion: have leavers/kicked players ships given to AI

So.. it's quite unbalancing for a disconnect to cause a team to lose a miner/etc. so I suggest having the ship not be destroyed, rather given AI control (since you would get an AI anyways when that happens) - if it's a miner, the AI can simply continue mining - if it's any other ship, since the AI's currently can't play any other ship, I would suggest just copying the miner "retreat & dock" logic, which would give the ship a chance to return home safely, but at the same time not be a method of "saving" a ship - basically if it was under attack and going to get destroyed, it will still be destroyed
and I think this was suggested before & forgotten, so I am bringing it up again
