Cluster OB now respects if a hive core is created while it is firing.

About the pull request

It checks for OB protection on the turf now. It'll remove the turf from consideration and try a different one. If no valid turfs remain the OB stops.

Explain why it's good for the game

Seems fair enough, very niche case though.

balance: Cluster OBs will now no longer hit turfs that have gotten OB protection after the initial OB was fired.

I'd think the core should just eat the shell because otherwise this could deflect shells into a concentrated barrage, but well, alright

We can do that too, but then you'd lose out on the part of the OB hitting the non-protected part. As you say, concentrated.

I agree with Fira. This is gonna take some moving around.

Add all the turfs in the range, then do the regular picking and fire_in_a_hole() calls.

In fire_in_a_hole() do the check for if the turf is protected by a pylon and then eat the explosion instead of having it all bottled up.

Maintaining density for this stuff is important for balance, surprised it was like this for so long.
