Summary0024939: Friendly Officer/Lone wolf disable repair method is very unintuitive and hard to understand for new players
DescriptionPrompted from a discussion off of discord.

If a player has a Officer/Lone Wolf they do not want to repair as they feel that metal is better spent elsewhere, they must currently micro engineers away from the officer and force them off of FRD to make sure it is not repaired or "You'd need to mess with the assist settings so engineers don't like auto-assisting something with a really big price tag.
".

New player assume that disabling the "construction" button in the fleet tab or "pausing" the unit will prevent it from being repaired, but this is not the case. This is frustrating to newer players as they feel as though they cannot prevent their economy from being drained when Officers/Wolfs are crippled.

I suggest making it so that turning off "construction" on a centerpiece also prevents the centerpiece from being auto-targetted by engineers for repair, to make it a simple button press to prevent your economy from getting destroyed.
