[#3703][7.5] Manticore self preservation missing

[Calgor Grim]

The self preservation instincts of Manticore scrap haulers is rather poor. When a vessel is towing a scrap cube or bit of salvage it seems unable to utilise its travel drive and limited only to boost. When said Manticore is then threatened by say a swarm of XEN fighters and attempts the "Flee" command, it attempts a very half arsed boost, still with the debris in tow but then the boost runs out after a short distance leaving the fighters to catch up to it and finish it off. When a trader is threatened though they at least boost and may attempt TD to get out of the area but because its towing it can't.

Ideally when the vessel uses the "flee" command it really should drop whatever its hauling, disengage the scrap tractors and get the hell out of there. I've lost half a dozen of them in the last hour of gameplay alone due to XEN at Getsu Fune and Family Zhin because they insist on slowly dragging the twisted burned out wreck of the previous Manticore vessel that was in that area of space that itself was trying to drag another twisted wreck out which...(repeat ad absurdum).

These are also 2-3 star pilots, they shouldn't be that overconfident in being able to pull away at 120m/s...

Same file as my other recent bug ticket, a few of them are about to get threatened in FZ.

Be aware that manticores gain additional drag and mass while towing scrap which can give them abysmal flight characteristics. Unmodded manticores might struggle to pass 1km/sec in travel mode while towing scrap even with mk3 engines.

When manticores are issued a flee order, it would be nice if they released any scrap in tow. This would drastically improve their ability to survive as they are not trying to flee while carrying a proverbial ball and chain.
