Summary0029341: Hacking can be initiated from within a transport
DescriptionIn the attached save, select the Delivery Craft, then select the Raven inside it (it was put into hacking mode before being loaded into the transport) and right-click attack the nearby Machinist. The Raven will initiate hacking without exiting the transport.

As far as I'm aware, this isn't meant to be possible. It may represent a balance issue - the Raven is Marked Defective as expected, but the transport is not, so you can happily conduct fly-by hacking without reprisal.

(If it IS meant to be possible, it should also be permitted to put a Raven into hacking mode while it's embarked in a transport.)

Thanks!

* The "hack unit" ability now can be done over a much larger range (the entire movement range of your unit), but it requires your unit to move in close to the target, most likely revealing themselves in the process.
** This solves the issue of them being able to hack from the safety of vehicles, since the hacker has to leave the vehicle to do their work. It also just feels better in general.
