Overheated ships should be dismissed from fleet

[taisong]

The title says it all. This is necessary because whenever a fleet ship overheats and somebody reboots it again, the ship will try to do the task they were assigned.

This also allow overheated ships to retain their AI, thus making it un-salvageable.
And it stops you from adding the ship to the fleet.

This is a problem that became visible because of the NPC update. Finally taking down an enemy mother ship only to see it unsalvageable is just infuriating. Also, being taken to an unknown sector the moment you reboot the enemy ship is hilarious and often annoying.

(You CAN salvage it via hand or shipyard. You just can not salvage it with your mining ship)

T1143 overheating fleet ships can't be salvaged

The bug report for this very problem, filed all the way back in February (by Lancake) when they started testing Fleets for players.

As it is affecting the NPC fleets, and "presumably" they'd rather you be able to salvage fleets you kill, maybe this will finally get the attention it needs.

This needs to be fixed, I often try to board a NPC ship and remove the faction module. it then continues its task, usually dragging me along. a temporary fix is to BP it and deconstruct, then re spawn it.
