Toastgoats 3c4444b1c4 Adds additional equipment for Silverscales. (#84257)
## About The Pull Request

This PR adds a few notable changes to the Silverscale pirates:

- Replaces the old nanotrasen branded hardsuit with the designer EVA
suit, an armored hardsuit equivalent in protection to that of the
standard pirates.

- Silverscales all start with satchels

- The airlocks on the shuttle can now be locked from the inside

- The shuttle now has a robot butler (medibot) named Mortimer, along
with a burn kit.

- Increased the amount of C4 on the shuttle to 3, and added a 1.30
damage modifier paywalled laser gun to justify having the recharger, the
silverscales will need to supply the card themselves

- Adds explosive implants to the Silverscales' outfit. They're greedy
lizards, did you think they'd let their gear fall into the hands of the
poors so easily?

- The mosins now get phasic rounds to offset the disadvantages of low
DPS compared to lasers.

## Why It's Good For The Game

As it stands, it can be argued that the Silverscales are the weakest
pirate faction, On paper, they sound as though they would be
well-equipped elites, but are left with clunky, unarmored space suits, a
bright dead-giveaway glow, and single shot guns that leave them
extremely vulnerable to being rushed and stunned. As such, they've
become somewhat of a joke amongst players for the past few years.

This pr doesn't necessarily aim to negate their weakness, but I'd like
to give them more of a safety net that puts them on equal to slightly
better footing with standard pirates in terms of their access to armor,
healing, and options.

The addition of the explosive implant also serves to reinforce their
theming of being rich, evil lizards, but is mostly meant to make them
more entertaining.
