[Question] How to change the status text of a crew NPC?

[NBCDumb]

Hi, I'd like in a module to change the status text of a crew NPC (ie: for engineers the text "Repairing", for commander the text "Following ALbion Skunk"...), especially the engineer one if relevant, to set a custom text giving more info about what is really happening.
Does any one know about this kind of stuff?

(that's the part actually setting the status text using text constants and dynamic values which I can't find how to)

Thanks

as far as i can tell, they're set by <set_command name=" " /> in aiscripts leaving you to chose from a bunch of given alternatives as attributes, but you can't create your own. these are the possible attributes from aiscripts.xsd:
