the commander morph costs are slightly buggy

[GoogleFrog]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up Skirmish vs. Inactive AI
2. Place Engineer Commander to start game
3. Open morph dialog, select Light Particle Beam and empty slot, verify morph cost as 50
4. Morph and wait for it to complete
5. Open Metal Used graph and wait for it to update

Expected: 50 Metal Used
Actual: 58 Metal Used

does this happen if you have no mex and if so does it happen if you almost morph com then cancel it.. if it still has used metal then its lost metal from commander ecconemy pack being on hold or obstructed while morphing

Looks like the Tech-K cost multiplier again. A vanilla commander is T1.159 (via starting modules) and pays more accordingly, via the same mechanism that makes a T2 Aspis etc morph cost more than T1. More expensive commanders pay progressively more.

Commanders having extra cost is now handled via attributes though. Perhaps these should be decoupled such that there's a separate "value" and separate "costs" attributes? Tech-K would set things to have more costs and value, while vanilla commanders would have more value but costs stay at x1.
