Description:

Randomized scout logic:
assign a small ship this order and it will fly around the galaxy and scout unknown stations (unknown = for which the trades are not known to the player). It will always prioritize current sector and scout stations there. If all stations in current sector are scouted, it will move to the next closest sector with unknown stations and start over. If all stations in all sectors in range (slider option) are scouted, it will move to a random sector in range and check again. It will also scout not yet known sectors, in fact prioritize it over known sectors with the same gate distance. Each ship also checks other player ships with the same default order and skips the sectors in which another ship is already operating (has target in that sector).

This mod also features fleet logic known from my other 3 RandomX mods (assign ships of same type to defend one ship, and set up the default order of that ship to Random Scout afterwards).
