Suggestion: Implement a per pawn toggle to prevent pawns from automatically choosing targets currently engaged in melee combat.
In previous versions of the game, melee has been a decidedly poor choice and something that only happens when things have already gone wrong.
That's less so the case now, and it appears at least that this is intentional. I'm all for it, honestly, but it does make one thing a bit rougher: Friendly fire. Is it at all possible to get a per-pawn toggle to simply not fire into melee unless specifically told to target them. Basically, I'm looking for a way to have my pawns stop picking automatically targets in melee when their original target dies.
Too often I only catch this after someone has firing their bolt action rifle into my melee pawn's head.
Just a simple "It's too dangerous, I can't get a good shot!" toggle, so my pawns don't default to murdering my poor melee guys who already have things pretty rough. Obviously, this won't end FF from "I ran into the line of fire" or FF from deliberately firing into melee, but it'd go a long way to prevent accidental and wholly unnecessary injuries.
