Summary0024344: During press period: Hacking Improvements
DescriptionRight now, when you hack something, it chooses the hacker that is nearest to the thing if you have multiple hackers on a planet. In one situation -- ARSes -- there is an interface for “choose which thing you want” that pops open after you hack, but it is not generalized.

Overall I am planning on making two substantial changes:

* If you have multiple hackers on a planet, then it will explicitly ask you which one you want to use to hack with via that same sort of pop-out, or via a dropdown on said pop-out, depending.
* I am going to make it so that people who are coding to hacks can have arbitrary lists of options that they can provide to players. So not just what ship line you want for an ARS. That way there are a variety of hacks that can have custom sub-options all wrapped into them.

My editorial:

These changes are needed in order to sort out minor confusion on the part of some players (when there are multiple hackers, in particular), and then it’s also something that a few mods need. This new flexibility also is something that will play into my own plans further down, but even without that it’s something that is an excellent thing that is needed for modders and us as developers for the future. Nothing really controversial here.
