Summary	0002484: Engineer bungee cord
Description	This change: "Engineers will now try to repair while they themselves are moving (though starting a new move order will interrupt repairs temporarily), and will no longer ignore moving ships when searching for targets to repair." The result is that Engineers now have a bungee cord, as shown in bug-bungee.sav - the engineers in group 5 bounce between a spaceship constructor and the wormhole they were ordered to move through. To reproduce, have some auto-FRD ships assist with a construction queue. While they're helping, order a move to a different system (e.g. you want to help them in another location.)

keith.lamothe Jan 16, 2011 8:20 pm administrator ~0008783	Ok, we'll just have to revert out the first part of it, the one where engineers would look for auto-assist targets while the engineers were moving.
