Converted entity materials to new fade shader
Implemented visibility system
Refactored per-instance entity code to run inside monobehavior on entity instances

Items can ignore thermal mass when adding heat
Burst weapons can consume single ammo (mainly shotguns)
New missile type that follows crosshairs
New airburst projectile type that deals splash damage
Auto Shotgun and Charged Shotgun
Modified weapon scripts to eliminate specialized projectile behavior - allows charged weapons to have projectiles and modify weapon stats when charged
Added machine gun weapon & VFX
Moved third party code to Plugins folder to improve compile times
Heat system remade, now guaranteed stable
Schematic heat texture is now
Radiators glow according to temperature
Added Laser weapons
Longinus has split weapon and radiator meshes, weapons can yaw 1 degree for target convergence
Articulation points can now handle 360 rotations properly
Fixed exception caused by hit spread on thin hull sections
Fixed loadout not restoring item rotation
Fixed exception in inventory panel selection
Weapons are now monolithic behaviors
Various new weapon behavior types implemented
All weapons have optional magazine and reload mechanic
Visibility now decays globally
Player credits now tracked by game manager
Buying items subtracts credits
Right clicking on trade menu items allows player to buy multiple
Inventory panel dropdown now allows instantiating saved loadouts
Thermal Layer Removed
Items can be destroyed from inventory menu via drag & drop
Trade menu contains only priced items
Trade menu has filters for commodities
Conductivity can be adjusted along schematic edges
Thermals rebalanced
Added multiple turret enemies
Added ability to destroy enemies
Fixed bug where player could target themselves
Fixed bug where targeting new enemy freezes schematic hit animation
Fixed bug where target lock progress could persist when targeting new enemy
Created TurretController, which performs basic combat for fixed orbital installations
Projectiles self-destruct at maximum range
Created turret prefab
Outfitted turret in game manager
Entity position is now 3D
Entities responsible for updating their own position and orientation
Barrel positions and orientations available from entity code
Inventory code will display modal dialog for invalid item moves instead of breaking
Yaw articulation working (full 360 rotation still borked)
Minimap works again
Stardust density is now proportional to gravity depth
Generated zones are double the size and better distributed
Orbital hierarchy actually working now (!)
Station start position actually orbits something now
Max gravity strength remapped to infinity (zone boundary is properly impassable now)
Added MPL license headers
SectorRenderer renders entities in sector, manages particle systems for ship thrusters
Thrusters apply torque based on orientation and position relative to ship center of mass
GameManager controls the player ship's thrusters
Player can dock with station if they are near
Entities now have dedicated docking bays with their own cargo area for loading/unloading
Inventory panel allows display of any ship or cargo bay at the currently docked station or within the current ship if undocked
