Summary0028264: Hackamajig Confusion
DescriptionAs I've mentioned in the Discord, I've had pretty bad results with this item, often times not being able to pull aggro, and instead resorting to just trying to defeat everything in one turn. Attached is a save of me having initiated the "Examine Water Purification" Investigation, with 2 Combat units already using 2 Hackamajig's and 3 AP ammo each.

The cruiser will always target the Technician doing the investigating, and when it is destroyed the foot soldiers will swap their aggro to the Technician.

Confirmed issue by two people. Not sure what priority this needs.

Thanks!

* Dramatically improved the targeting logic of NPCs when they are distracted by aggro, real or service-disruption-caused (aka hackamajig).
** The first part of this was changing how they search for targets, and making sure that for any units mutually within range, it only cares about aggro and not range for target chasing. This is a more minor bit of things, but it keeps them shadowing the right units if need be.
** The second is that, the usual "allowed to fuzz to a random other target" is being removed in the cases where the aggro from the intended target is more than twice the aggro of the possible recipient of fuzzed targeting.
** Units now behave as I'd expect in the presence of the hackamajig.
