nearest_first

What it says it does

Nearest first: one interceptor per nearest unengaged track, gun on the nearest thing in range.

The obvious baseline, and the one that should lose to decoys. It commits on range alone and never asks what a track is, so every decoy it engages costs 4 credits to destroy 0.5. Everything else is measured against this.
