About the pull request

Lowers manufacturing costs for useless/unused equipment.

Explain why it's good for the game

CAS weaponry always was and will be a priority, therefore the transport and other QOL additions either need to be really strong/useful to warrant purchasing them, or have costs so negligible that it doesn't feel like griefing if you do.

LZ detectors and spotlights are exceedingly useless and a massive noobtrap/missclick bait, if they're not being removed they should at least be almost costless.
Rappel's a cool system, but sadly extremely underused and as far as I know never had much of an impact on a round - I see no point in gatekeeping fun situations for both sides behind that price cost. Encourages teamwork and communication, everyone wins here.
M56 similar to the above - sovlful, encourages fun and holdouts, but rather useless in practice and will likely get the user killed. A fun way to go though.

If some hidden worth of these ends up being discovered and they actually make a dent on the balance, the prices can be raised up accordingly.

I was thinking of removing the requirement to have a rappel belt for rappeling because it's a limited thing and kind of discourages active usage this way.

Not very familiar with how the rappel system works, but I remember hearing about some trouble related to lack of these the last time marines were going to try, so that'd be nice to see aswell.

Up the 25s to 50s just because it looks better that way.
