Summary	0015783: CTRLS - Engineer FRD If No Hostiles Are Present
Description	If Engineers and Rebuilders are set to auto-FRD, they suicide into incoming AI waves (e.g. e.g. to rebuild Mines), are rebuilt, suicide again, etc. Here's a CTRLS setting which would make this less painful without removing all decision-making from the player: Suggested CTRLS option: Engineers/Rebuilders FRD If No Hostiles Are Present. Result: Doesn't affect existing Engineers & Rebuilders at all. But newly built Engineers and Rebuilders are only set to FRD once no hostile ships are present in the system. So one's initial Engineers & Rebuilders on FRD will still suicide, but only once per wave rather than over and over and over again.
