Game changes

Also several Pirate units can build weapon modules, thanks to which they can be adjusted to the player's gameplay style. Game has now 3 gameplay modes: Deathmatch, Capture the Megalith (where players capture various space objects) and Trader's Hell (freighters). Also 18 maps are ingame, including one from original game. The Pirates' ship models mostly came from unused Hiigaran ships models, but some are also made from existing models (Such as the Battle Station, made from Chimera Station), and some are even made by the authors themselves.
