Summary0010988: AI stops shooting, gets stuck in force fields, and more
DescriptionBasically the problem is both Force Field pinning (which is when you put multiple Force Fields on a warp point and AI ships get stuck in the intersection of the bubbles. I'm not talking about encircling a small open area with Force Fields) and the AI not liking to shoot at Tractor Beams under Force Fields.

It takes a little bit for the fight to stabilize in this save, but you can tell its over when the force fields on the warp point stop taking damage. Sometimes 50-100 Fighters sneak by, and occasionally it all collapses. Note that the 900 Fighter IVs in the wave can kill a Force Field in something like 4 seconds, and there are only 3 they have to get through. F3 (debug) the Fighters after it stabilizes and you'll see the have the Tractor Beams targeted, but aren't actually shooting them.

For 6.014:

* Fixed a longstanding bug where the rule "a ship is always considered in firing range of something that is tractoring it, or the forcefield guarding said tractor" was actually inverted. So AI fighters (for example) could be stuck in a tractor+FF trap without firing on anything if its other desired targets were out of range.

Thanks :)
