Commands menu

May 24, 2018 Luxen link
Like the new gunner menu, it lists "command-able" ships you own or have hired, with Health and current location (and time remaining if valid) listed. a drop down menu is listed next to each one that contains valid commands for each ship.

Fixes:
1) Using a mission to control these ships; you can hire help or build furies, and then actually use them in other missions instead of only for out-of-mission objectives.
2) [maybe, kinda speaking out of my ass here] Theoretically makes it easier to add new commands to ships, as instead of editing every available commandable's mission, you merely create the command and link the behavior to valid ships.

Problems:
1) Likely difficult as it would change how commandables work from the ground-up
2) Would have to find another way to impose a limit on how many commandables can be undocked at the same time, to prevent abuse

Thoughts?
