Added ping cooldown bar to HUD
Added spline curve implementations to AetheriaMath, applied better mapping to wormhole transition animation
Tweaked loadout generator to prefer larger items to a controllable degree (e.g. very important for cargo bays, less for shop inventory), shop inventory bans non-ship hulls and manages internal space more effectively
