## About The Pull Request

New changes for Justice mech - traitor mech that can be created on
emaged fabricator(you need robo skillchip to emag it)
1. Charge attack refactor

holding right click

While you press right click scope will focus on tile mouse looking for
and when you release right button you will charge on this tile (cooldown
5 seconds as before). if your mouse look at position you unable to
charge your mouse icon will become red
2.  New Justice block
Now Justice don't have 60% chance to block any damage. Instead of this
rng, justice has 3 engines that orbit around him

Engines can be active and disabled. While all engines active they will
block any range projictiles back.

To deactivate engine you need to melee hit mech. When all engines
deactivated mech loses its ability to deflect for 10 seconds, after
which all cores are recharged and the cycle continues again.
Justice can also recharge one engine when pilot hits someone who not in
crit.

3. 
Some balance changes:
Mech hp now 300
Mech melee armor now 50
Mech bullet and laser armor now 30
 Mech now don't have speed change  when you switch safety mod. 
Instead mech becomes faster in invisibility and slower when holding the
right mouse button to charge a charge attack.
Invisibility mode now no longer temporary. You can be invisible as long
as you want until you attack/ bump with someone/ take damage or turn it
off yourself
AoE attack from invisibility is now x2 faster

## Why It's Good For The Game

Lots of changes from recived feedback. 
Basically the most annoying thing was the block chances. Praying on luck
to not die from laser spam turned out to be not a very interesting
mechanic. Now mech justice requires more strategic actions to destroy it
and the mechanics create more fun for both the mech user and those who
fight with it. You need to get close to the mech to hit it and only then
will you be able to shoot the laser and user of justice has the ability
to recharge his cores by attacking enemies (if you don't attack, then
you won't be able to recharge the cores (well, only if your other cores
are broken)). This all creates more risk reward elements and not just
rng.
Accordance with block chance changes i also increased HP and armor of
Justice to balance the block changes a bit.
AoE attack speed was needed simply because 100/100 cases everyone said
that the aoe attack is weak and useless because it is almost very easy
to get away from it.
Changing the charge attack work mechanic is necessary to improve the
maneuverability of the mech. pressing the charge button and then getting
messages that you chose the wrong direction is very inconvenient and
deprives comfortable gameplay and pleasant use of the mech.
