It's about how the player wants to use/save his fleet.
It also would solve the problem what would happen if both harvest and colonization is possible.
"Set type in dependance from mission, ships and coordinates" has to be redone maybe.

this is already existing:
Set to harvest and debris field if recycler in the fleet
Set to colonization if only colony ships in the fleet

it has to be changed to:
Set to harvest and debris field if only recycler in the fleet
Set to colonization if colony ships in the fleet

Explanation:
1) raids, DF:
for raids you send recs only to get the DF. so this would stay the same.
2) fleetsave routine with recs - harvest
only way to get it preselected if you wish to save your fleet via DF harvest
3a) fleet with recs and colo ships, existing planet
target will be Planet/deployment or transport (colonisation impossible)
3b) fleet with recs and colo ships, no existing planet, existing DF
target will be Planet/colonisation (possible)
4) fleet with recs and colo ship move from moon to planet
deployment will be preselected (instead of harvest)
5) attack/save fleet with recs by attacking foreign coords
attack will be preselected (instead of harvest)
