NSV Shrike - A GAMEPLAY EXPERIMENT

[Karmic-Skink]

About The Pull Request

This PR includes an experimental set of maps aka ships designed for lower pop numbers.

Please do note: there are a large number of experiments being run on this map regarding population, jobs, mechanics and priorities.

"Map is missing X feature!!!!!" - This is likely intentional, unless we are talking about an APC or something along those lines, X feature is likely not included on purpose as a part of the testing.

Main Features:

• Heavily reduced job variety (non-critical roles to the core gameplay loop have been removed or made accessible by all crew members)
• Streamlined Munitions (experimenting with main ship weapons to facilitate lower pop ships)
• Cargo Focus: Cargo is considered essential to the operation of this vessel, players actively manning cargo have plenty of tasks to do (please do not just greytide cargo, use your words and play nice)
• Preconfigured SMSD reactor for faster round starts (the level of this will be adjusted following feedback, follow the ingame notes)
• Moody Multi-Z Aesthetics (stop stealing parts of my ship from early screenshots - you know who are)
• A pile of code changes and additions etc

There was an issue with guns being inaccessible after maintenance, despite being in a powered area

These were the steps I took:

Open panel with screwdriver, wrench, crowbar
Apply oil, although the oil was flushed and rejected for some reason
Apply multitool to fix the alignment
Close panel with crowbar, wrench and screwdriver
Lose access

I did check to make sure it was out of maintenance, tried relogging, and make sure the other gun wasn't affected. Nothing seemed to work

engineering doesn't have actual airlocks, relys on firelocks instead
