			** a fighter or bomber strafing a large ship that dies or departs;
			** a ship sitting idle while still holding a standing attack order such as attack-any;
			** a ship choosing a target to chase that its ship type doesn't actively pursue (per +Actively Pursues: in objecttypes.tbl).
			* With this flag, ships choosing a target to pursue (including guards reacting to an attacker, and ships striking back when hit) only consider targets they actively pursue. A guard attacked by a ship it won't pursue keeps guarding instead of breaking off. A ship ordered to attack a wing goes after members it will pursue first.
			* Targets that a ship only holds, rather than flies after, are unaffected: idle or guarding ships, and capital ships whose turrets prefer the ship's own target, can still target anything.
			* Explicit orders are also unaffected: if a ship is ordered to attack a specific ship, class, type, or wing it doesn't pursue, it still takes that target, so its turrets fire at it, but it won't maneuver toward it.
