Ability to assign a body guard

[hwoo]

When I send out a hunter or a hauler, they get slowed down bringing back whatever it is they carry home. And they also cant shoot whilst doing so.

So I think the ability to click on a colonist, click 'Guard' then click on the coloniat you want them to guard would be fantastic and add for a bit of depth and protection for those high value colonists of yours.

For example the guard would stay within 15 tiles distance of the vip, and helps the vip in whatever activity the vip is doing aslong as they are capable  (ie If the vip is mining and guard can mine, the guard helps mine. If he cant he just stays within the 15 tiles) he's at peace untill the vip gets attacked, then goes automatically into combat mode. But moves on his own to attack the threat that's attacking the vip (think raider coding but staying within a certain distance of the vip to take the heat. Say 20-30 tiles before he retreats to rejoin the vip)

Thoughts?

I don't see (as far as my playstyle/experiences go) many reasons for this, but then again, i don't see many reasons why not, so +1?

But i do think if Fog of War is ever implemented (and imo it should), then yeah, it would come pretty handy
