## About The Pull Request
- Fixes#76827
This removes gravity from the following areas:
- Solars
- Nearstation
- Space
- Ordnance bomb testing
##### Note - Asteroid areas (Tram) or planet areas (Ice) are not
affected.
<details>
<summary>Examples of outside gravity turfs</summary>
</details>
Now stepping on floor plating in those areas will result in mobs
drifting. (like they do inside the station when gravity is offline)
Stepping on or near catwalks, lattices, or walls stills controls your
movement. Also refactored a little bit of the `has_gravity` code to use
defines instead of `TRUE/FALSE`.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency. Mag boots are highly recommended when performing EVA.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fix gravity for areas in space near station (solars, nearspace,
bomb testing, etc.)

## About The Pull Request

I was playing Starsector shortly before I read through this lore blurb
and realized that simple Comms Buoys would be easy little ruins to make.
Then I decided to make NT's extra-special because NT is always leading
in tech innovation.
Adds 2 "low-tech" Comms Buoy ruins (**no local comms**, these are just
little fluff things):
<details><summary>Kosmokomm Communications Buoy</summary>
</details>
<details><summary>Pirated Communications Buoy</summary>
</details>
The majority of the PR is the "high-tech" Nanotrasen Extraorbital
Bluespace Communications Buoy
<details><summary>The NT-EBCB Model 7 (ignore the parallax i couldnt get
it all in one screenshot)</summary>
</details>
This is a medium ruin that's more lore heavy than loot heavy - though
that doesn't mean there's no danger. NT wouldn't want you walking in and
reading all their communication logs after all.
<details><summary>SPOILERS INSIDE</summary>
**Hazards:** 2 Laser Turrets (in a titanium room, so they reflect off
walls)
**Loot:** 2 Experimental Tool spawners, 2 NT Private Security bodies, 3
space suits, 1 of each tcomm component, 2 RTGs (can these even be taken)
The majority of the sat is for lore. It has 3 paper notes and 5 consoles
(1 broken, 1 dupe, so 3 unique consoles)
All lore will be here to show how formatting appears in-game.
<details><summary>Airlock Note: "Page 33: NT-EBCB Model 7"</summary>
This one gives a quick summary of what to expect inside - consoles and
defense turrets. Of course, players won't have the special ID (and
couldn't use it anyways, the guys inside covered it in blood)
</details>
<details><summary>Pinned Note: "Table of Contents: NT-EBCB Model
7"</summary>
A page out of the manual. Rest of manual not included. (Names the
different parts of the buoy)
</details>
<details><summary>Main-Dish Note: "Spinward-NT-EBCB Inspection
Report"</summary>
An inspector left behind a few notes during pre-deployment. Sure hope no
important security risks were missed!
</details>
<details><summary>Console 1: "Satellite Dish Operations
Terminal"</summary>
This one's mostly just a tie-in with the "story", don't know how
necessary it is but it filled the empty spaces.
This console has a spare in the Main Dish (as its prone to breaking from
the turrets)
</details>
<details><summary>Console 2: "Blackbox Transcription Terminal"</summary>
The "local" side of the story. This console monitors the Local-Space
Comms, and managed to log the repair team's activity.
</details>
<details><summary>Console 3: "Long-Range Interstellar Relay Operations
Terminal"</summary>
Here's the big lore thing for freaks like me who love lore being shown
in-game.
It's got a lot of random-made-up-science-bullwhizz relating to the
ongoing NT research mentioned in the plasma_exposure lore blurb.
Granted, the guy's a bit biased in his ex-partner's work.

## Why It's Good For The Game
A) Everybody loves new space ruins, even small fluff ones. I hope.
B) Lore integration is cool. Aside from the obvious 'Comms Buoys being a
thing you can find', it also makes mention of the Gateway system/Port
Ellis and a certain lore blurb involving plasma (albeit under more
severe, and biased, testing)
## Changelog
🆑
add: 3 new Space Ruins: two small Comms Buoys (fluff) and an NT
Bluespace Comms Buoy. Employees are asked not to touch vital components
when nearby this critical infrastructure.
