Spess Networking Technology:
▪ The machines are located in Centcom near the cargo shuttle.
▪ A new admin debug verb "Change Radio Type". Using this will toggle between old (current) radio code and the new radio code. ADMINS: I recommend only doing this if Doohl (me) is around to take note of anything that happens.
▪ The whole thing works, in theory, but hasn't been stress-tested with the usual 60+ players. I will write up a Tgstation Wiki article and/or explain what some of the stuff does in IRC or ingame.
One last thing to point out: this is a PROTOTYPE. I have tested it myself and optimized the code very well. In theory, this new radio system is significantly less laggy AND has many more features. However, because of it's a prototype, it can at any time destroy the server. The reason I am committing this and not updating the changelog is because it's not an actual feature YET. I want to stress test this on the servers to see how it fairs, then add some more stuff to it like the ability to link machines and repair networks.

◦ 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.

You probably won't notice this, but it makes things slightly easier for atmos techs.
Several instances of ReplaceWithFloor changed to ReplaceWithPlating- the floor tiles under walls were annoying me. RCDs now create plating instead of floor also.

Right now you can't do anything them other than capture people (and talk to them if you're near the stone)
Added a new belt variety that can only hold shards. Still needs its own sprites.
They currently do not spawn anywhere/are admin only.

Captains can't be traitors anymore. This is a placeholder, friday I'll redo that a bit - probably so that captains don't get any traitor equipment (they already have all the everything else for that) and that they can't get steal objectives (re: they already have everything).
