Adds random space traffic control chatter during the game. It's rare, not spammy. Like every 35 minutes it has one short conversation.
It adds a bunch of lore datums about different parties in space and ship names and stuff. That can be used for other stuff later.
If you find it annoying, you can disable it at the comms consoles (don't need to log in, anyone can do it).
***Normal traffic***
[Common] SCV Falken states, "Virgo TraCon, this is Federation SCV Falken on a military route to the Gateway 98-C at Arest, requesting refueling information."
[Common] Virgo Air/Space Control states, "Federation SCV Falken, this is Virgo TraCon, sending refueling information now."
[Common] SCV Falken states, "Virgo TraCon, thank you, good day."
***5% chance of wrong frequency***
[Common] SDV Lucina states, "Sol Command, this is Federation SDV Lucina on a diplomatic flight to NSB Checkmate, requesting remote telemetry data."
[Common] Virgo Air/Space Control states, "Federation SDV Lucina, this is Virgo TraCon, wrong frequency. Switch to 855.2."
[Common] SDV Lucina states, "Virgo TraCon, understood, apologies."
***2% chance of emergency traffic***
[Common] UNSC Colorado states, "This is Navy UNSC Colorado declaring an emergency! We have unknown life forms on board!"
[Common] Virgo Air/Space Control states, "Navy UNSC Colorado, this is Virgo TraCon, copy. Switch to emergency responder channel 639.2."
[Common] UNSC Colorado states, "Virgo TraCon, okay, switching now."
Links many map-specific details such as the station name, z-level information, and allowed jobs from global vars to map datum vars, which should help us maintain multiple maps at once in the future, which will be needed for the future Southern Cross.
Note that a config change will be needed to change GENERATE_ASTEROID to GENERATE_MAP, otherwise no changes should be required to continue normal map usage.
To change to a different map, it's suggested to tick the file that ticks all the other needed files, which for the Northern Star is called northern_star.dm.

Turns announcements into a datum based system to allow a variety of configurations.
Current configuration options include:
Admin logging
Which sound that should play when announced, if any
If the announcement should be stored as a newscast
Request console/standard announcements currently match priority announcements, but have a smaller style/footprint.
Player announcements now include the assignment and name of the person (or the id rather) who made it.
Have currently only updated the request console and all announcements which previously used captain_announce().
Affected automated announcements, such as shuttle messages, should be exactly the same as before.
Escape pods now no longer launch automatically during regular crew
transfers. However they can be set to launch during a regular crew
transfer by emagging the escape pod controller.
Also fixes emergency shuttle arrival announcement having the wrong ETD.
Moves all ferry shuttle processing into one place: the new shuttle
controller.
Also cleans up the emergency shuttle controller a bit more and fixes
multi-shuttle cooldown.
