Summary0022581: Automatic Ships/Drones disappear sometimes when entering or leaving their flagship
DescriptionHad my Hive Golem Arc stationed on a neutered hostile planet and the AI seems to like sending their ships onto that planet in small groups. The Yellow Jacket ships the Arc produces therefore go into the Arc and out of it constantly. And a lot of their number seems to disappear constantly in the process. I am pretty sure they are not dying in the fight against the small groups from the AI either.

Thanks!

* For both stacks and drones, put in some code to prevent cross-threading race conditions where they could in theory cause incorrect and confusing fluctuations.
** With stacks it seems like this only happened with very low stack count targets.
** With drones it seems this was not actually the problem.

* For all of the non-planetary fleets, it no longer tries to clear excess ships above the cap that you have.
** This was potentially causing some problems with drones in particular where it was killing excess ships as they went back into the drone controller. This may also have affected ships going into transports.
** Essentially it was counting some stuff that was queued for death but not yet dead. And in general with these we frankly don't care if they are over cap, as they wll die soon enough anyhow and it's unlikely that they would be over cap in the first place.
** The big thing with caps needing to clear excess ships is the command station fleets, since you can change command station types which massively adjusts your caps for things, and not handling these would be an exploit.
*** If a command station is ever given drones, then it's likely to be buggy like the hive golem and similar was in the past, and there's no simple solution for that. Don't give command stations drones. ;)
** This is confirmed to fix the hive golem bug and bug with drones in general.
