KAs now account for atmosphere the shot is fired at. Reducing damage if inside of atmosphere. Maximum damage for KAs to living being is capped at 50 per shot. Fixes#6318
KAs AOE now damages anything in its range. It looses 25% of damage per tile from the center out of center tile damage(100 -> 75 -> 50 -> 25 -> 0...).
Mechs KAs damage was increased, and AOE of 5(That is a lot!) tiles was added. Keep in mind that AOE will damage mech itself if in range. Regular mech KA damage is now 40 per shot. Burst KA damage is now 25 per shot(that is 75 in total).
Bumps Travis Byond version to 512.1467 since it includes good fixes for DD and client.

Changes:
rscadd: "Added Kinetic accelerator to mechs. RND can now research and make these Kinetc accelerators. There is a regular and a burst(3 shots) version. It will be better than average-decent man-held KA."
rscdel: "Added flamethrower for mechs. RND can now research and make this flamethrower. Works like man-held flamethrower."
soundadd: "Added flamethrower sound."
balance: "Hermes mech armour values has beeen rework. No longer it has bullet protection of millitary grade mech, and brute protection of a baby. Bomb protection increased, and fire protection decreased."
bugfix: "Fixed fire spam of burst mech weapons. Before if you click fast enough you were able to bypass cooldown x number of times in a row for burst mech weapons."
tweak: "Hydraulic clamp now loads all of the ores from a tile in one click into the box of mech. Just like mining satchel."
tweak: "The LBX AC 10 "Scattershot" now uses shotgun sound effect."
Replaces use of ':' inside of Mech's and hostile mob code
The results are in: Science doesn't always provide mining with kinetic accelerators. As a result of these findings, high level kinetic accelerators now have increased drop chances in the warehouse and in abandoned crates.
Also, kinetic accelerators no longer dig holes.
Fixes a mining borg issue caused by an old bug, fixes processing for the uranium charger, adds a new cyborg kinetic accelerator that uses cyborg battery charge.
This is honestly one of my biggest and most ambitious projects. I hope people are happy with this.
Custom kinetic accelerators are special, customizable mining weapons that are meant to give a sense of progression, and a sense of pride and accomplishment while mining. Each custom KA is made up of 3 or 4 parts:
The Frame (5 to choose from)
The Cell (5 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The Barrel (5 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The Upgrade Chip (7 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The sprites change with each addon, they are truly dynamic and there are so many combinations of parts that a miner can have. You can have several different builds for each desired mining style, it's quite a robust system.
You can have a KA that shoots slowly, but delivers high-penetrating shots that go through several walls of rock. You can have a KA that shoots REALLY fast, but precisely destroys 1 rock at a time. You can have an absolute canon of a beast, that destroys rocks in a 3 tile radius around it.
The parts can be obtained via research, via abandoned crates, or via RNG in the cargo warehouse. There are some custom KAs that spawn on the raider's ship, on the mercs ship, and a laser one on the merc's headquarters. That laser one can also be bought from the traitor uplink as well.
ERT get a class 4 KA for use in special operations, if they choose to use it.
