I wanted to wait until after the feature freeze to commit this but there have been problems with Telecomms recently and this update that I've been keeping fixes most of the issues. I've tried to remove most features from it but there were some things that I couldn't.

-TCommsat machines no longer use their Z level to check if they can receive the signal or not. Instead, they use listening_level. It defaults to 0 for machines that don't change the value. If it is 0 when the telecomms machine's New() is called it will set itself to it's Z level.

-This allows you to manually change the value to other Z levels. I call this an off-site relay. I've added an off-site relay on the satelitte for the station and removed the one in the communications room.

-Players can create an offsite relay with two receivers, two broadcasters and, if necessary, a relay. Why two receivers and broadcasters? Otherwise any player can go to the Ruskie/Mining relays and turn them into off-site relays for the station! It would harm the TCommsat's usefulness. Instead, you will have to setup another broadcaster and receiver if you want to do that. Though it may be pointless, if someone sabotages the Commsat they would have destroyed/depowered the other machines there too.

-About the option to have an offsite relay, there is only a single Z level that you can lock onto at the moment and that's the station. Gameplay wise, the TCommsat is orbiting the station and if we do get the away missions then it would not make sense for the TCommsat's broadcaster/receiver signal to be able to pickup there. More sense if the Receivers and Broadcasters from there
are sent here... maybe. I don't know, seems more fun this way.

-Fixed an issue that doesn't let the Engineer Borg (or Borgs with multitools) be able to link machines with their multitool module.

-All-In-Ones do not have a Z level restriction. They can pick up ALL signals and send ALL signals (to Z levels 1-10)

-Fixed an issue with the player being unable to remove frequencies from the filter.

-Added support for additional interaction options for certain machines. To use it, create a new Options_Menu() and Options_Topic(href, href_list) for your machine.

-Added EMP_ACT to Telecommunication Machines. I've also added an event called "telecommunications_blackout()", it will loop through all telecomm machines, in telecomms_list, and EMP_ACT them. The EMP will last 2 minutes. Currently only admins can use it.

-Fixed issue 831

-Changed the map. The station no longer has the station relay, it is now on the Satellite. There's an empty room now, it should be used for something after the feature freeze.
