About the pull request

Adds a platoon of freelancer mercs. lays out the groundwork for further additions (better sprites, more lore, maybe even return to OG gunny weapon plan of FLASH).

Major features include: Fuckton of stolen or bought weaponry in the armory, not too much ammo of one type to simulate the feel of ammo scarcity among the mercs, but not actual little amount of ammo so you arent fucked if an unnamed person takes 16 mags every round.

Lack of PlatCo, mercs wouldnt really have an overwatch system AND if they had a real "officer" type it would be the captain, and then who would the GMs have to give orders from and call about situation and such. replaced with totally original RTO idea i have not taken from the tried and tested FORECON platoon.

New shipmap, not much to say about it im not the best mapper.

A single squad, the idea is it adds to the unmanaged hoodlum aspect, but im willing to fold if its too much trouble player wise to manage (will see if its the case if it ever gets a playtest), they still get gunny and a sqsgt so they can always divy up ingame between them

Explain why it's good for the game

More options for GMs to do missions, more RP opportunity for the players in a VERY different than all current platoons platoon. Bane can complete pirate larp

Changelog

🆑
add: Added FL platoon and all its goodies
add: Framework for a secondary gunny weapon to replace current flamer in part 2 if it works
mapadd: added the SS Corsair, the totally not shady civilian transport vessel

So, question: We have a bunch of ragtag guns in the code already that are overall worse than faction guns but do a decent enough job. Why all the new weapons?

the /lancer variants fix bizon and the ppsh 43 to not have the spread of a shotgun blast. the /repro variants add full auto, remove starting random attachments, and update the lore to not be weird out of place guns from the past in the future. the lancer variant of the minigun has updated lore. and the L42B contains full auto, separate bullets from pulse so you cant just find a single pulse rifle mag and be set for a while, and an updated sound to not be as weak with the full auto. more FAL like L42 variant
