The RIF Signal Jamming ability (with NC coupler attached) still doesn't appear to block Engineers from calling reinforcements when attacked.  There's an item in the Beta 10.2 changelog that indicates this should be the case.  I think RIF Signal Jamming + transport network coupler also fails to block hauler reinforcement calls, if that's supposed to occur (I'm pretty sure this happened earlier, but I haven't re-verified since learning that these jamming issues were added/fixed).  Additionally, should Engineers who are "ignoring repairs" due to the RIF-required hack still call reinforcements?  (They currently do.)

Oops, you're right, there was a typo in there which made it not actually work xD

Normally I thoroughly test features and fixes to make sure they're working, but in this case did not since it was a very simple addition, but it was still broken...

That was not a thing, but yes logically considering the other 10.2 change this should be added as well. (The point would be to put the ability on par with a Transmission Jammer.)

They don't under normal circumstances, but they will still do this if for example they were already in the process of rebuilding something (or heading to rebuild something) and they get attacked after being hacked but before they get to take another turn since at that point ignore_repairs has not yet had a chance to clear their queue yet. They check for hostile activity before their chance to do job updates.

Ah, well if this only occurs during a "single action" window, then it's fine.  I thought it was happening even later but I've only noted that it does happen and not when it happens
