Making drones smarter about target selection

It is interesting how my drones do not auto target the ship my fleetmates are currently attacking, and just go off merrily to attack another ship 50 km away. Could you guys add something like this to the current drone target acquisition algo that comes before all current checks:

if fleetmates are attacking ship x {
attack ship x
} else {
// all existing code
}

Thanks!

Edit: One more thing. Why do my drones sit idly by while my fleetmates are being attacked? It is probably a good idea to make the guard code apply to fleet ships as well as the base ship.
