Summary0024439: Support and Spire flagships can't hack
DescriptionA minor issue I ran into during my test game for spire. If you try to hack a spire debris with spire cruiser or support fleet, it tells you there are too many hacker and you must select one. Selecting any flagship doesn't work.

This is really annoying for the spire cruisers because debris appears in multiple locations. At least the spire flagships should be hack-capable of getting the debris done, so the player can still split effectively his forces between debris.
TagsNo tags attached.

This was a larger task than I think you expected! Certainly caught me by surprise, and was a can of various worms.

* For hacks that require a local hacker, it now says what kinds they can be.
** Hacks in general that require a local hacker can only be done by an officer or a transport, and the tooltip now says that.
** We now have hacker_can_be_battlestation, hacker_can_be_support_fleet, and hacker_can_be_lone_wolf for hacks to make it so that we can use those if they are around.

* With hacks in general, it now tries to find them in the following order (which decreases the chance of you getting the annoying "you have multiple hackers and we can't tell who to use" message):
** If it must be a battlestation, then first check selected citadels, then all citadels, then selected battlestations, then all battlestations.
** If it can be something else:
*** If lone wolves are allowed, check them first (first selected, then any in general).
*** Then officers; then strike fleets.
*** Then if support fleets are allowed, check them.
*** Then if battlestations are allowed, check citadels, then battlestations/
** For this whole process, it checks in this priority order JUST for selected ships, with no errors, and if you have one selected that's allowed, it will use that. Then it checks by group in selected, then all fashion.

* The following hacks can now be done by support fleets:
** Weaken Turrets or Guard Posts
** Hack GCA (if in old save)
** Extract science from neutral world
** TSS or ODSS hack for all fleets
** Search for Spire Relic, Analyze Spire Debris, and Steal Macrophage Debris (DLC1)

* The following hacks can now be done by battlestations:
** Weaken Turrets or Guard Posts
** Hack GCA (if in old save)
** Extract science from neutral world
** TSS or ODSS hack for all fleets
** Search for Spire Relic, Analyze Spire Debris, and Steal Macrophage Debris (DLC1)

* The following hacks can now be done by lone wolf fleets:
** Spire Archive Extraction
** Weaken Turrets or Guard Posts
** Hack GCA (if in old save)
** Extract science from neutral world
** Subvert Super Terminal
** TSS or ODSS hack for all fleets
** Sabotage An Enemy
** Reprogram An Enemy
** Access Outguard Beacon and all the faction beacons
** Provoke Vengeance Strike and Render Vengeance Generator Vulnerable
** Dyson hacking (other than granting of ships)
** Search for Spire Relic, Analyze Spire Debris, and Steal Macrophage Debris (DLC1)
** Pretty much all the DLC2 hacks other than those that grant ship lines.

* Updated some code to allow support for the spirecraft fleet leaders from the fallen spire to act as hackers in general. This has never been possible before now, with any hack.
