## About The Pull Request
This PR turns gondolas into basic mobs and does some fiddling with
gondola pods
Their verbs are now action buttons which they lose upon delivering. If
set to stay, they won't have their abilities afterwards (or wont get
them in the first place if the delivery is already done).
Lets them survive without a pod requirement in case admins want to spawn
one for their own stuff, so I also removed it from the snowflake checks
to exclude them from stuff.
Also replaced the hardcoded "cant speak" with simply giving the mute
trait, so admins can make gondolas speak if they want to for any reason.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The pet level of simple animals can finally be killed off, also gives
admins more control over gondola-related stuff if they so wish.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Gondolas (including gondola pods) are now basic mobs.

## About The Pull Request
We currently have 2 types of xenos in the codebase, simple animal and
carbon.
I'd like to unite them both under basic, and I thought I should go for
simple animal first since it's more of a conversion than a remake.
This helps set a base for a future basic-only xeno, which would require
the following:
- Basic mobs (or just anything than Carbon) to have Organs, which we can
then use for things like referring to their plasma sac for egg-laying,
etc.
- All xeno types having a basic mob variant, preferably with an AI so
they would work without a player.
- Something be done about larva, either we'd split basic xenos into
"larva" and "adult" (like carbon) or have it be a separate path that can
also have organs so they can still have hivemind.
Everything else seems to have been done overtime as simple animals have
been converted to basic (HUDs and holding things now seem possible,
etc.)
Even if this doesn't work out, at least this cuts off a good chunk of
the remaining simple animals to convert to basic.
Sprites used (for mapping helpers):
Fire medkit
Toxin medkit
Oingo Boingo punch face (i tried to shrink it down)
## Why It's Good For The Game
This helps advance us move away from simple animals, and helps move
carbon xenos to basic mob later too if that's what we want to go for.

## About The Pull Request
Adds in a new Bitrunner domain called Abductor Ship which is an
assault-type domain themed as an abductor mothership. It adds in a new
Abductor simplemob, gives them enemy AI almost identical to the
Syndicate Assault mobs and then sets them up in a new modular Domain map
fit with a custom Safehouse and multiple enemy types.
The domain is the same reward and difficulty level as the Syndicate
Assault mission and can be easily compared to it, while also being fresh
and having a cool themed map to run around in and blast aliens. I don't
know, I think it's cool...
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fun alien destruction, more Bitrunner content. Can you really go wrong
with that? It seems like bitrunning becomes dry when you've exhausted
all your domain options and have gotten used to them.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added new modular Assault-Type domain "Abductor Ship"
add: Added new simple mob abductor agents team

## About The Pull Request
Reopened#78997
Larger patch for bitrunning that addresses a few issues.
- Two new antagonists: cyber tac and netguardian
- Quantum server emag opportunity
- Modular mob packs: Like random spawners, but for groups
- Antag spawning fixed: vdom antags now have up to a 10% chance to spawn
based on domains loaded
- Virtual domains are no longer all fullbright by default, only the
outdoorsy ones
- Actually deletes legion map file, since it was removed in #79424

The netguardian prime
The glitch effect - this mob is being mutated
Cyber tac (t2 antagonist)

## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bitrunning antagonists are so incredibly rare that it's underwhelming
to play as one for the solid second they offer if you even get the role
- Bitrunners had basically no traitor route to follow, they became
assistants with black outfits
Fixes#79465
<details>
<summary>More info</summary>
Bitrunners don't have any type of traitor options. If they're made into
traitors, there's nothing bitrunner related they can do, and their
access is particularly bad so it's like they're a worse assistant. I've
coupled this with the bitrunning antagonist system, which is now
fixed.\. Bitrunners can now attempt to coax these entities to come onto
the station, however they are not given any form of allegiance for doing
so (and are quite counterable).
Previously, vdom antagonists relied on so many factors to spawn that it
basically wouldn't happen. Now, it runs on the server each time there is
a map loaded, with increasing probability as the round progresses. This
builds up the list of spawnable antagonists, of which two are new,
including an entirely new giant mech megafauna. This is the first
"megafauna-esque" basic mob in the game. Its AI is bad, it's really only
meant to be player controlled, but this does mean an admin can spawn
them. Being mech, they are very counterable with ion rifles and the
like.
Several refactors, rewrites, and overall bug fixes are included in this
PR.
Lastly, I added a framework for making bitrunner maps more random, the
modular mob spawning system, which works in conjunction with random
crate locations.

🆑
add: Bitrunning Patch 1 features a host of changes!
add: Added randomized mobs to virtual domains, which will be indicated
with a unique icon.
add: New emag interaction with the quantum server. Antags will spawn
more frequently, and they can hack themselves onto the station. You have
been warned.
add: Both living and dead players can now see which mob is going to
spawn an antagonist in the vdom.
add: Two new vdom antagonists: Cyber Tac and the NetGuardian. These
unlock at specific thresholds.
balance: You can no longer stack copies of the same ability with
bitrunning disks.
balance: Some of the disk items have been replaced with stronger
versions.
fix: You can no longer spy on crew using the advanced camera console on
syndicate assault.
fix: Fixed the spawning mechanism of virtual domain antagonists. You
should now have a chance of playing as one. This chance increases as
more domains are completed.
fix: Vdom antagonists shouldn't spawn at the end of the run any longer.
fix: The preference for vdom antagonists has been changed to factor in
the new types. Check your preferences!
fix: The quantum server will now show its balloon alerts to all
observers.
fix: Random domains should be fully random again.
