Summary0011711: FRD Remains Rebuilders only option
DescriptionHere's the problem: I'm not a big fan of FRD in general for my engineers. More often than not, it causes them to put themselves in dangerous situations during heated engagements which get themselves killed.

There are times when FRD is useful on engineers, but in general I'd like to keep it off.

Having said that, remains rebuilders without FRD are basically useless. On any higher difficulty game, turrets are constantly being destroyed and rebuilt on planets throughout the galaxy. If your remains rebuilders are not in FRD, it would be absolutely tedious to have to go to each of those planets and put them on FRD...or worse, rebuild the turrets manually.

However, if you put them on FRD manually, they have a high risk of dying, which means once the game rebuilds them, you would have to go find them, and put them on FRD again...so they can die again...so you can put them on FRD again...forever. And you would have to do this on basically every single one of your planets with turrets dying...so in essence you would have to be putting your remains rebuilders in FRD every 10 minutes for the rest of the game.

It goes without saying that the player should have the option to leave his remains rebuilders in FRD without forcing *ALL* of his engineers into FRD as well.

For 6.042:

* The FRD-Engineers Toggle (both the global and the per-control-group ones) have been split out into FRD-Engineers and FRD-Rebuilders. The former no longer applies to Remains Rebuilders, and the latter applies exclusively to them.

Thanks :)
