SkyratBot 94aff1857c [MIRROR] Gives Fugitive Hunters credible IDs, access restricts the hunter shuttles, minor hunter shuttle improvements [MDB IGNORE] (#21872)
* Gives Fugitive Hunters credible IDs, access restricts the hunter shuttles, minor hunter shuttle improvements (#75913)

## About The Pull Request

This standardizes fugitive hunter IDs, making all hunter packs use the
same subtype and giving them to hunters who would spawn with no ID at
all.

The badass flaming ID color that the OG Bounty Hunter team got are now
the standard for fugitive hunter IDs. Additionally, these IDs now come
with a radical skull trim.

(Spacepol Officers don't get the badass flaming skull ID, and instead
get a more modest Police Officer ID).

**These IDs come with access, too. Airlocks, bolt buttons, shuttle
controls, and shutters on all of the hunter shuttles now require a
hunter's ID to operate.**

While I was in the area doing mapping stuff to get the accesses in
place, I made a few other very minor changes to the shuttles. These
include:

- The Bounty Hunter shuttle now has an oxygen dispenser. Two walls have
been moved to make space.
- The Russian Hunter shuttle now gets enough oxygen tanks to share with
everyone.
- The Psyker Hunter spawners now have proper spawner menu text. This was
due to duplicate-but-not-really subtypes existing, and me mistakenly
putting the wrong ones there in a previous PR.
- The cut ai wire helpers from the Russian/Psyker shuttles have been
extended to the Bounty/Spacepol shuttles.
- Every hunter shuttle now has a shuttle pinpointer on it somewhere, and
is no longer exclusive to a single Bounty Hunter's loadout.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Some of the hunter IDs would spawn without trims or coloration, and some
hunters wouldn't spawn with IDs at all. Now, everyone gets a credible,
cool-looking ID that lets everyone know what you're here to do at a
glance.

One of these is a crazed larper with an unregistered firearm, the other
is a certified bounty hunter.

As for the hunter access, it's pretty nonsensical that anyone can just
walk into the hunter ship and set up shop. At least the pirates get
turrets! Not to mention, it's hard to balance or give hunters new
equipment in good conscience when their entire domain is public-access
and anything they can't carry is considered forfeit to the crew. Now it
can be used as a base of operations, storage area, etc. more securely.

Locking down the shuttle with accesses isn't going to stop a determined
gamer with a toolset, but it'll at least make it more interesting and an
actual risk. If the fugitives want to try and loot/hijack the shuttle,
it will require the effort of taking down one of their hunters first.

While hunters stand out for the differences/imbalances between each
group, I don't see the shuttle pinpointer as something that contributes
positively to the OG bounty hunter's uniqueness. There's no reason why
the other hunters shouldn't also be able to track their ship.
