Plasma Burn AI should account for objects (hulks, etc.) in the way

Not sure if this is really a suggestion or a bug but I'll just put it in Suggestions. Right now the Fury's AI doesn't account for the fact that it might ram into a hulk when it uses plasma burn. Unfortunately this means that it'll sometimes ram into a big hulk, flame out, and then go coasting into the enemy fleet and die. This is pretty undesirable behavior. Hopefully it's a simple fix to check for objects in the way before deciding to plasma burn.

Attached is a screenshot of this in action. The highlighted Fury (Fury 7) ran into the hulk at the bottom and then deflected upward and is about to end up in the middle of the Radiants at the top of the map. (Note the speed, 494 su/s.)
