Alpha 09 — Independent engagement range and fire rate, and an AI that shoots

Engagement range and fire rate become independent settings at the tactical level in Alpha 09 — and, more importantly, the AI actually shoots now. Orders also stopped being one-way: you can cancel or redirect a fleet before it leaves, change where a ship under construction is delivered, and cancel a build already in progress.

Install note: You will need both the .exe and the .pck files downloaded!
