* Makes the rocket launcher epic ( Giant RPG Buff ) (#82212)
## About The Pull Request
The sprites of rocket launchers, rockets, and their projectiles have
been updated.
The name of the rocket launcher has been changed from "PML-9" to
"Dardo-RE Rocket Launcher".
Rocket launchers can be worn in suit slots as well as on your back if
you really wanted.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The PML sprite is nearly like seven years old at this point I think.
This is something a little less ancient and a little more cool looking.
Speaking of cool. Weapon names that are just a bunch of random letters
and numbers together suck, especially with TTS around making some of
these abbreviated names pronounce really weird. The new one should roll
off the ai generated tongue a little easier if someone mentions it by
name.
## Changelog
🆑
add: The PML-9's name has been changed to something that's a little less
boring random numbers and letters, and something that TTS can likely
pronounce much nicer than before. Get blown up by a Dardo rocket
launcher today.
image: Sprites for rocket launchers, rockets, and rocket projectiles
have been changed to something fresher looking.
balance: Rocket launchers can be worn on your back or armor vest.

* Buffs the SC/FISHER Saboteur Handgun. (#81553)
## About The Pull Request
The saboteur gun will now silence pAIs, toggle off radio broadcasting
(won't auto-relay nearby speech), disable turrets, chill out secbots a
little, and turn off APCs like power outages do.
The disrupt duration has also been buffed from 10/20 to 15/25 for ranged
and point-blank respectively.
Removed a conspicious chat message from an otherwise inconspicious gun.
Brought the code up to date.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The concept is cool, alas it's also undermined by how much of a joke
it's right now, and the game has plenty already.
The amount of interactions it has with things is underwhelming, so you
could barely consider it a stealth tool. The duration is also quite
scarce, I pointed that out in the original PR too.
Basically, I want to make the item cooler.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Buffed the duration of the SC/FISHER Saboteur Handgun's
disruption effects. It's also stealthier and it won't conspiciously
alert living mobs hit by it.
add: Added saboteur interactions with radios, pAIs, turrets, secbots and
APCs.

* Different pen types have unique behavior when used in foam darts. (#79587)
## About The Pull Request
This PR makes the following changes:
- Refactors inserting items into foam darts into a component on items
that can be inserted into darts
- Adds the aforementioned component to pens
- Provides an inspection tip for how to modify a foam dart
- Gives different pen types specific behavior when used in a foam dart
Pens typically give a foam dart 5 brute and 50% embed chance (affected
by falloff). The following types of pens give the specified properties
(usually directly derived from the pen's stats and additional
functions):
- Red pen (and four-color pen set to red): Slightly faster dart
- Captain's fountain pen: Slightly faster dart, and 75% base embed
chance
- Sleepypen: Tries to inject its reagents into the hit mob, but doesn't
penetrate thick clothing like syringe guns do
- Energy Dagger: 35 brute, 100% base embed chance, and slightly faster
dart
- Survival Pen: Mines rocks on impact
- Fine Tip Pen (if someone somehow manages to get one): 100 bare wound
bonus and 9000 demolition modifier
## Why It's Good For The Game
Expands the emergent gameplay possibilities of using pens in foam darts.
While there are balance risks involved with traitors being able to buy
the equivalent of reusable 45u syringe shots and 35 brute bullets, you
are not likely to get your pen back once it hits its target, unless you
somehow have the recall spell and have bound the pen to it. There are
probably more TC-efficient ways to achieve comparable projectile
weaponry, but foam dart guns have an air of subtlety to them... at least
until your skin is pierced by a pointy writing implement that may also
be something more deadly. If maintainers still have balance concerns,
please let me know.

* Adds `UPSIDE_DOWN` movetype for negative gravity / makes Atrocinator affected by less things (#79785)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79764
I was going to tackle this issue by slamming `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL` on
Atrocinator users and calling it a day, but like, that didn't feel
proper.
So I thought hey, we could just give them the flying movetype, even
though they technically aren't flying it means they're unaffected by
things that flying would make you unaffected by.
Nope, this means the mob technically "negates gravity", so no falling
and no feetsteps.
Let's try floating - this give us feetsteps but no falling upwards.
So instead of going back to square one, with `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL`, I
decided to go for the more complex route of just adding a movetype.
Hence, move type `UPSIDE_DOWN`. This covers situations where a mob would
be "floating" above the ground, but still walking. ...Negative gravity.
This means overall the Atrociator acts more as you'd expect - you don't
slip on ice, you don't trigger bear traps or mouse traps, you can walk
over railings, unaffected by conveyor belts, etc.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the Atrocinator a lot more consistent with how you'd expect for it
to work.
Admittedly it is a bit niche use of movetypes, but it can possibly be
expanded to more things in the future, who knows? I applied it to mobs
on meat spikes (even though they don't move), just for proof of concept.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Atrocinating mobs will now behave more as you'd expect. Meaning
they don't slip on wet patches, can't trigger bear traps / landmines /
mouse traps, ignore conveyors, and can walk over tables and railings.

ground), glass tables
fix: Floating mobs won't squish stuff like roaches anymore

* Makes the SC/FISHER a bit better - more range/accessibility/pacifist-usability (#79835)
## About The Pull Request
- SC/FISHER is now pacifist-usable.
- SC/FISHER black-market availability prob up to 75, from 50.
- SC/FISHER range bumped from 14 to 21.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The SC/FISHER does no damage (except against ethereals, where it does a
grand total of 3 per shot), which I think is negligible but can be
removed if it's that bad to allow pacifists a gimmick method of
murdering another guy, so I think pacifists should be allowed to use it.
The range buff and black-market availability are just because I felt
like it, since I don't think it's available enough, especially for a
doohickey whose sole purpose is "break lightbulbs".

* Adds engi improvised weapon - rebar crossbow + Engi Exclusive Tot Shop Variant (#78777)
<!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may
not be viewable. -->
<!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull
request process. -->
## About The Pull Request
Engi now has access to a Half Life 2 Inspired rebar crossbow! Made of
rods, wire, and an inducer, it shoots sharpened iron rods at a high
velocity. High damage and good embed chance, but requires you to reload
every shot which requires you to stand still for three seconds to pull
the string back. You can also Use a wrench on it to force it to store
more rods (read: more than one), but risks it exploding and shooting you
instead.
The syndicate variant, avaliable to traitor engis, can fire three rounds
before needing a reload, and features a scope and better armor piercing
ammpo, but costs 10TC. I see it as a sidegrade to the revolver - quieter
and has much more widespread ammuniton, but holds less ammo and doesnt
have the same burst stopping power. And, to those concerned about the
balance of a non-traitor with this item - the AP ammo can only be made
by the traitor who bought it, and anyone else has to use normal ammo.
GUN STAT JUNK
Normal one has 60% embed chance and does 40 damage (against unarmored
targetd), but requires you to wait at least 3 seconds not moving to pull
the string back. Good alpha strike but not sustainable in a long fight.
Its akin to a pipegun.
Lacks any AP qualities besides piercing a jumpsuit, because any wound
chance it has is due to a bare skin bonus. Generally not a great weapon
to fight sec with.
Syndie version is generally the above but better. Takes less to pull the
string back, slightly higher damage, better fire rate, etc. Doesnt fare
well against any armor thats equivalent to sec gear or better due to
most having low (relatively) AP and wound chance, but good bare wound
bonus.
STATS TLDR: Its good against unarmored chumps and greyshirts but anyone
in armor that protects against bullets will kick your teeth in.
Also, Ammo is crafted from an iron rod. I wanted to have it just fire
rods as is, but theyre stacked items which you cant define projectiles
or ammo from.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've always felt engi, for as big of a department as it is, is lacking
in the "fun weapons" area. Sci has mechs and xenobio, med has chem nades
and syringe guns, and cargo has anything the QM will buy - but other
than the flamer and shocked doors, engi doesnt have much. Thats why I
made this pr. it was originally just a traitor item, as they lacked many
traitor items in their shop, but I felt like a worse, bootleg version
would suit them.

* [NO GBP]Fixes tesla zaps. (#79398)
## About The Pull Request
Closes#79297Closes#79312
Due to the new cutoff parameter being added to tesla_zap() (from
#78310), and most callers used positional arguments instead of keywords,
the zap flags was getting fed the shocked_targets list and maybe other
junk. This caused a bunch of unusual phenomena. This is fixed by using
keyword arguments.
Tesla zaps that use the grid were significantly weaker in terms of
damage than they're supposed to be. This was a byproduct of trying to
convert everything to joules and removing unnecessary power multipliers.
This is fixed by reverting the damage scaling and zap power of zap
sources that aren't based on grid. Technically this will cause the zaps
from other sources to have less power, but these tend to not be able to
put power on grid, so this wouldn't have any change other than what a
grounding rod displays. Doesn't really matter.
Logs machine explosions from zap_act. Not the most helpful log (would
take a lot of effort to add an extra parameter to pass the source), but
better than nothing.
Probably other stuff I did, lol.

* Scatter laser shells now use the scatter laser beam, and makes them significantly easier to make. Projectiles can now have damage falloff. (#78927)
## About The Pull Request
Allows for damage falloff to apply to more than just shotgun pellets.
Now any projectile can have a damage falloff defined.
Scatter Laser shells no longer use the minigun beams to determine their
damage. Instead they use the actually defined scatter laser beams. Those
beams do 7.5 damage per pellet, times by 6 pellets.
Scatter laser beams now have damage falloff, a separately defined
(positive) wounding power from normal beams, and wound falloff.
Scatter laser shells can be printed from security protolathes once you
have weapon tech.
Scatter laser shells _may_ be damaged by EMPs based on severity. The
result is that it fires a practically useless volley of laser fire. They
cause a honk sound when they hit, so you know when you've shot one of
these.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Well, we want shotguns universally to not be defined by their damage
output (especially extreme damage output) but by niche.
What does the scatter laser shell currently occupy as a niche?
The single highest damage output of any projectile weapon in direct
damage. The thing we don't want of shotguns, and it is reigning champion
of all guns.
Okay, that's a bit misleading, because obviously it is competing with
the likes of .50 BMG which does 70 damage outright and dismembers limbs,
potentially doing upwards of 90 damage if it does, and also hard stuns
people. Obviously _that_ is technically a stronger bullet.
But not for raw damage, because the scatter laser does 90 damage out the
gate, barring any potential wounding that might occur which increases
the damage multiplicatively. No gimmicks, no extra procs, nothing. It's
just 15 force lasers (with no damage dropoff) split between 6 beams.
And the reason for this is because this shell has been nerfed once prior
by making it not fire 6 normal laser shots into someone. That was 120
damage at the time, 120 to 90 was...I guess a nerf during the taser era.
Depends on how you viewed it. Buckshot was doing like 80 at the time,
believe me it was a wild period. But anyway, when we did the whole
damage rearrangement over the course of the laser few years, every other
shell got touched except this one for some reason. Even pulse slugs lost
10 damage while this was still sitting on 90 force point blank.
So what is the new niche? Well, it's laser buckshot. That's not a niche
but crew don't get buckshot, so this is their buckshot. It wounds real
good. Real goddamn good. And its is a laser. It fits the aesthetic,
obviously.
Okay, thanks.
## Changelog

beam. This comes with damage changes. And wounding power.

* It is now possible to survive the Mansus (#79131)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79113
There were a handful of bugs with the Mansus realm, this PR fixes them.
Firstly an most importantly, a refactor to damage handling touched the
"unholy determination" effect incorrectly (and I'm not even sure why?),
causing it to damage you instead of healing you most of the time. This
damage was not avoidable, so most people would be crit shortly after
entering the area and stay there.
Secondly, some of the heretic realms were unlit. A change to when
lazyloaded template atmosphere initialises means that the bonfires were
trying to light themselves with no air. Now they do this in
late_initialize instead, giving time for air to arrive.
Thirdly, the spooky hands were runtiming when passing through transit
tiles outside of the bounds of the heretic map. They shouldn't be
effected by shuttle drag anyway, so now they aren't.
Fourthly, I removed a row of empty space at the edge of the heretic map,
just because it annoyed me slightly.
Finally, while I was touching the heretic buff I made it heal you 1/4 as
much as it originally did. This is a balance change rather than a fix,
I'll atomise it out if it is controversial but I don't really expect it
to be.
In the future I would like to come back to these and make each realm
more specific to the path, because I think we could make these both more
exciting and more characterful.
## Why It's Good For The Game

* The laser carbine, a full-auto sidegrade to the normal laser gun (#78685)
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds the laser carbine, a new fully-automatic laser weapon that
can be ordered from cargo. A crate of 3 can be ordered from cargo for
1800 credits, locked behind armory access. Here is a video
demonstration:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/21979502/6f7fecec-ccb6-4a65-8027-21ab887fb91d
Now, I'm sure people are very concerned about the balance implications
of this new weapon. Let me give you some hard numbers:
The gun deals 10 damage per shot, and has a capacity of 40 shots with a
fully charged cell. This means that it has, at most, 400 damage per
charge, which is exactly the same as a normal laser gun.
In terms of DPS, it can put an unarmored human in crit roughly as fast a
laser gun. It is meant to be a sidegrade, not an upgrade to the normal
laser gun.
It also has considerably lower wound bonus. During testing, when all 40
shots were fired into an unarmored human, it dealt tier 1 burn wounds
with the occasional tier 2. I never observed a single tier 3 burn wound
during any of my tests.
Here's a picture of the different sprites (The last one is animated just
like the normal laser gun):
## Why It's Good For The Game
For a long time, there has been a strong push to make crew-available
weapons almost entirely energy based. This trend has been contentious,
to say the least. Many people prefer ballistic weapons over energy
weapons. After spending some time on a different codebase, one where
autorifles are still completely available to order from cargo, no emag
needed, I think I might know why (or at least part of the reason). Part
of what I find satisfying about some ballistics is the fact that they
fire quickly and automatically. Energy weapons might be more enjoyable
to use if automatic energy weapons are also an option.

* Makes the Regal Condor realistically simulate being shot dead with a high caliber hand cannon by making it HITSCAN (#78674)
## About The Pull Request
The Regal Condor come with a magazine and ammo already inside.
The recipe for the magazine now no longer needs TC, but does need donk
pockets (sponsored murder gear, you see) and a hell of a lot more
materials per magazine (you're looking at like 40 sheets of various
materials all up). It also needs you to make the Condor first. But it
comes preloaded with ammo.
The Condor is 1 whole TC more expensive. Also needs some metal. The old
recipe is there in spirit.
The Regal Condor and the magazines come with 10mm Reaper bullets.
They're high damage. They're high AP. They are also hitscan.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Apparently people don't like the Condor. Too much effort for not enough
reward. After all, revolvers exist. 'It must be a joke' they say! 'It's
joke content! I went to all that effort to make it for nothing! That
slut Anne tricked us!'
**Wrong, bitch.**
If you want the Condor to make you shit yourself the moment someone with
it appears on the screen, then fine!
### **You get what you fucking deserve.**
## Changelog

the Regal Condor was largely a myth, there has been rumors that the gun
has once again started to display its true killing potential on any
station that it 'manifests'.

* [NO GBP]Zap strength is now measured in joules. NT CIMs will now display the power transmission from the zaps, accounting for every factor. (#78310)
## About The Pull Request
Zap strength is now measured in joules. Scales everything to account for
this.
NT CIMS will now display the zap power transmission in watts, instead of
a modifier. This will allow you to actually see how much power the
supermatter is generating accurately, without knowledge of hidden
multipliers. NT CIMs will also show the internal energy gain from heat
in eV/K/s, so you can easily figure out how internal energy gain works,
and how much energy gain it actually gives. The internal energy
measurement will also adjust its prefix. Internal energy is now a
measure of internal energy, rather than internal energy density,
removing the "/cm^3".
Here is what it looked like:
This image was created on an earlier commit where the numbers were wrong
due to a hidden multiplier that got removed later, so keep that in mind.
Also fixes inactive supermatters unnecessarily scaling delta time. The
high energy (>5GeV) additional zaps now also scale with delta time.
The code in this PR is absolute garbage trash and there are some major
issues, so I'm drafting this for now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it more clear what the factors add, and also how much power the SM
is releasing. Zap strength being measured in joules will simplify a lot
of things, making power balance more clear rather than guessimating.
Adjusting the prefix for internal energy is just the natural thing to
do. The per cubic centimeter part of internal energy would imply it is
energy density, however it is functionally not. It would probably
confuse people thinking the volume of the turf or the size of the
supermatter actually matters for what the internal energy does, when it
does not (except for gas absorption I guess, which changes heating/mol
requirements, but nothing else), so I am removing that part.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: NT CIMs shows how much power the supermatter is releasing.
qol: NT CIMs internal energy will adjust its prefix.
qol: Energy displays (such as multitooling grid) will use the full range
of SI prefixes available, up to the peta prefix if you somehow managed
to reach that.
del: Removes the per cubic centimeter part of internal energy.
fix: Fix unnecessary delta time scaling on inactive supermatters.
fix: Fix high energy zaps not scaling with delta time.
fix: Fixes grounding rods lying about potential power you can generate.
code: Convert supermatter_zap() and tesla_zap() zap_str argument unit to
be in joules, and scales everything that uses that argument.

* Fixes beams rendering below mobs by default. The fishing line is no longer emissive. (#78170)
## About The Pull Request
That of beams being layered below mobs has been a minor issue ever since
that mess that is FoV was implemented (with the exception of chain
lighting of the 'lighting' holoparasite type). I'm changing the plane of
beams to GAME_PLANE_UPPER_FOV_HIDDEN along a couple other things.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Re-read the above section, also fishing lines shouldn't generally glow
in the dark like very thin lightsabers, and them being layered below
mobs has always been a peeve to me.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixed beams rendering below mobs by default.
fix: The fishing line beam is no longer emissive (it doesn't glow in the
dark).

* [Fuck Shotties] Old Yellers Old Yeller (Improvised Shell Nerf) (#78235)
## About The Pull Request
Reworks improv shells to not be equal or even superior to buckshot, by
cutting their damage in half and reducing the wound bonuses. In return
they have a demolition_mod of 3, so do more damage overall to the
environment, a true vandal's paradise.
Added a glass shard to the recipe as an actual projectile instead of
just sheets of metal.
## Why It's Good For The Game
When buckshot was originally removed from the station (#55663) the
intended purpose was, as requested by oranges, to make shotguns a
specialist weapon instead of general purpose lethals.
It has come to my attention that improvised shells (which were initially
intended to be a weaker alternative made form commonly available
materials) are in fact better buckshot, and had no right to survive the
original nerf. I am now fixing that oversight by turning improvised
shells into a more specialised vandalism tool.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Improvised shotgun shells now deal half as much damage to
humans and cause less wounds, but do 50% more damage to structures and
machines. They also require a glass shard for crafting.

* Adds a check grep for using `src` as a trait source rather that `REF(src)` (#77836)
## About The Pull Request
Using `src` as a trait source is an error and can often lead to
hard-deletes
If you wish to tie a source to a certain datum, it is common to use
`REF(src)` instead.
Ideally, we would lint or test for any use of a reference rather than a
string in use in trait sources, but that's a bit harder to setup.
Currently (from what I can see) the *only* erroneous use of references
as sources are via `src`, so it being the most common error, I see it
fine to lint for it.
## Changelog
Nothing player facing.
* Adds a check grep for using `src` as a trait source rather that `REF(src)`

Setting a few things straight with embedding and caseless ammo. (#77450)
## About The Pull Request
So, when I made the `caseless` and `projectile_drop` elements, I failed
to take into account that bullets have an embedding variable sets, which
led to a few projectiles being embeddable when they shouldn't.
Beyond that, I wanted arrows and harpoons to be reusable yet embeddable,
which lead me to change a couple lines on the `embed` element, since
whoever made the element thought it was a good idea to add the
unnecessary step of attaching a copy of it to the `payload_type` of a
fired projectile before trying to embed it. Like, why? All that's going
to do is cause the resulting item to become embeddable, which may be an
issue for anything other than drop-deletable shrapnels. So yea, arrows
and harpoons, and emagged lollipops will now embed properly.
I've also deleted an unused, problematic subtype of quiver and arrow
casing, and made the quiver storage use
## Why It's Good For The Game
This will fix#77187. Perhaps buff harpoons and arrows a little but meh.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixed fired foam darts, gumballs and (harmless) lollipops being
embeddable.
fix: Projectiles that should embed while being reusable will now do so
correctly, actually embedding the reusable casing instead of a shrapnel.
balance: Arrows are generally more likely to embed now, except for
blazing ones, that kind of just blaze.
qol: the quiver storage now uses numerical stacking (like botany and ore
bags, or the RPED, for example).

* Buffs Xenomorph Neurotoxin from 50 to 65 Stamina Damage (#77276)
## About The Pull Request
This PR buff xenomorph's neurotoxin stamina damage from 50 to 65.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Right now in most cases, xenos will need to land 3 spits to stun a
crewmember due to the current values. You can also now use armor to
negate the stamina damage, so neurotoxin wasn't feeling as strong as it
should have. 65 stamina damage is on par with a stun baton, and also
gives xenos some leeway to land their second shot to paralyze their
target, making it a more useful ability.

* Xenomorph/Alien Rework 2023: Part 1 (#75286)
## About The Pull Request
Alternative to #75277
Kept you waiting, huh?
This PR is the first part of a Xenomorph rework which seeks to make the
big lugs more balanced and up to date with /tg/'s current design. This
mainly involves curtailing xenomorph's infamous hardstuns into more
interactive forms of combat, while also giving some buffs to the
xenomorph's more unique abilities in order to keep them threatening.
Part 1 will focus on simple number changes and some simple mechanic
changes. In the future, changes will be made to endgame involving
xenomorphs, along with changes to other facets of Xenomorphs.
Highly based off of #55937.
Changes:
- Xenomorph disarm has been completely reworked. While a disarm will
attempt to, well, disarm, a human opponent should they be holding
something, it will no longer immediately hardstun targets when they
aren't. Instead, the xenomorph will shove the target several tiles back
and inflict 35 stamina damage. If the target slams into a wall, this
will also come with the added effect of knocking them down. If a human
is incapacitated, however, right click will slam them into the ground,
which paralyzes them for a lengthy 5 seconds (which is ultimately half
the time xenos could stun you for before), allowing for safe transport
back to the nest as long as you keep them close.
- Humans can now shove xenomorphs. Due to being the superior predator,
however, you can't knock down xenomorphs from shoving. You can slow them
for a little bit akin to humans though.
- Neurotoxin no longer is a hardstun. Instead, it deals 50 stamina
damage on contact. It is still resisted by BIO armor.
**HUNTER:**
- Speed reduced from -1 to -0.3.
- Pounce speed is twice as fast as before (1 to 2)
- Hardstun time on pounce reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.
Hunters being insanely fast has been a major balance-ruining factor of
xenomorphs for many years now. These buggers could practically ambush
anyone, hardstun them immediately, and then leave before anyone could do
anything. Now, with their speed nerfed and in combination with the xeno
shove changes, hunters will need to spend more time to down a target.
Their pounce was practically useless, so its been sped up in order to
make it more practical to use.
**SENTINEL**
- Speed reduced from 0 to 0.2
- Cloak alpha reduced from 0.75 to 0.25 (you're more hidden now)
Sentinels receive a large nerf in regards to their spit, but their
before useless cloaking ability has been greatly improved upon as
compensation. They now serve better as defenders and ranged ambushers.
**XENOMORPH DRONE**
- No changes
As in the original PR, drones are perfeclty balanced in my eyes, so no
changes were required.
**XENOMORPH PRAETORIAN**
- Speed increased from 1 to 0.5
- No changes
Praetorians get affected by the nerfs of the other xeno abilities, but
now they're a bit faster in order to close the gap to use their
abilities.
**XENOMORPH QUEEN**
- Speed increased from 3 to 2
- Health increased from 400 to 500
- Damage increased from 20 to 50
Xenomorph queens have been sped up and made more tanky and lethal in
close-range combat. Fighting this beast up-close should be a death
sentence to almost anything else in the game. Speed increases will help
her re-position and close the gap on potential prey.
**OTHER CHANGES**
- Fixed a bug where simplemobs didn't actually use xenomorph's damage
values when they were attacked by them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Xenomorphs are old, and haven't been updated for quite a long time. This
has left them as sources of a bunch of hardstuns which made counterplay
from a modern spaceman extremely difficult. With these changes, fighting
xenomorphs is more interactive and should end up being more enjoyable
for both crew and xenos. Buffs were also given out to incentivize usage
of xenomorph's unique abilities as opposed to the standard disarm spam
which was most effective for them until now.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Xenos have been rebalanced, removing their hardstuns on their
disarm and neurotoxin, along with a slew of other changes. Xenos have
received buffs to their more unique abilities in return.
fix: Fixed simplemobs ignoring xenomorph's melee damage values when
being attacked by them.

* The Laser Musket (2023) (Settlement Helper Edition) (#76231)
## About The Pull Request
This adds a craftable laser musket to the game. It's slow and unwieldy,
but consistent! I'd be happy to tweak the numbers if it's too good/bad.
This PR also adds an independent militia ERT, who travels the spinward
sector to help defend stations!
TO DO LIST:
- [x] Finish worn sprites
- [x] Add a crafting recipe on par with the pipegun
- [x] Add bayonets
- [x] Separate charging into two stages and REDO THE AUDIO AAAA
- [x] Clean up code (Needs review, totally)
Scrapped:
- Possibly add overcharge mechanic (This is just beyond my skill level
for now)
- Find a unique sound for the weapon firing (We have a unique
projectile, and I can't a sound that fits more than the laser gun one)

## About The Pull Request
Someone noted in an issue report that virologists could tank like 7 of

## Why It's Good For The Game
Xenos should be dangerous to most of the crew without significant
protection. I argue that, while a labcoat is meant to protect from nasty
fluids, it shouldn't completely negate them, especially if a Sentinel
has saved up a good chunk of plasma to throw at you.
