Blob can be fire killed (I hope.)
Cloning machines should back up to all cloning machines.
Sacrifice can sacrifice cultists. (If you converted a sacrifice target.)
Fixed a missing tag on a sorter.
- AI malfunction will now be announced, even before it starts the takeover. After 5 minutes by default, after 25 minutes if it buys the interhack module.
- Reduced blackout uses to 1.
Fixed meteor spawning so all the meteors that are set to spawn actually hit, but noticed that 50 meteors every 5 seconds proved itself to be way too laggy when all of them actually spawned properly and aren't deleted at soon as they're created due to being on the map's edge. Instead I lowered it to 6 per second.

Malf overhaul, take two!
Waaaay back in the old days, I made it so malf AIs had to hack APCs to win, instead of just sit AFK for 45 minutes. Now I'm taking some more drastic action, to see what happens.
THE MALF AI NO LONGER SPAWNS ON THE AI SAT.
Instead of sitting in the AI sat hoping nobody notices your blatantly obvious hacking, at which point the 3 people lucky enough to have looted EVA get to have all the fun, you can now shunt your core processes into an APC you have hacked, and hacked APCs are only moderately obvious.
While shunted into an APC, the AI draws power from that APC instead of the one in their main core. If the APC loses power, the AI loses power as normal. If the APC they are in is damaged or destroyed, they are forced back into their main core. If the main core is inoperative at that time, they die. The AI is also capable of willingly going back to their main core. As long as the AI's main core is intact, the AI speaks out of its core, regardless of its current location.
I have tested as much of this as I could to make sure it is functional, but thanks to the game mode overhaul, I have been unable to run actual malf rounds on my test server, so I have had to cheat and set things to work in any mode for testing. As for actual round balance, there's no real way to predict how that shit'll change.
This is just the base overhaul, more changes will be forthcoming as malf rounds provide data on how the change performs.

◦ Metroids can now be observed by ghosts.
◦ Saved User Interface preferences ("Old UI" & "New UI") now correctly get transferred to clones.
◦ Captain announcements now require the player to be next to the console. (Issue 220)
◦ Radio headsets no longer sometimes fail to deliver the messages (Issue 221)
◦ Some other insignificant back-end shenanigans.
◦ The pregame lobby now has title music. The gameticker chooses between two .ogg files on game start and plays that for everyone who joins. The music stops when create_character() gets called though.
◦ Gave some critters, namely "creature" and "blob" some attack sounds.
