Pounced Marines Are Target Priority

Bug Description: If you are pounced, marines firing onto the xeno standing on top of you will instead hit you.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get pounced by a runner, possibly hunters too.
2. Have a friendly marine try to shoot the runner/hunter on top of you.
3. Get shot instead.

Can confirm. Good fix is to shoot behind them. Or just wait for them to move.

Yeah, really awful mechanic, esspeccialy when you have shitgun with buckshot and you don't hit alien one tile from you, but instead everything goes into poor marine under alien.

Bumping as it's still very much a problem.

Can't reproduce. If you are lying down with a xeno standing on you, then have a friend shoot by clicking the xeno or the tile you are both on, the result is the xeno gets hit or the bullet misses it, but you are never shot. Even when the xeno is also lying down the bullets will hit it if the friend clicked the xeno, or the bullet will pass above both you and the xeno if the friend clicked the tile instead.

The only damage you can possibly take is from the acid blood flying out of the xeno when it is hit. Or from marines who click you instead of the xeno.

Edit: even if the friendly marine click a tile behind you and the xeno, the bullets still hit the xeno and never you.
