Version 1.5.3.9: Conquest improvements

Some more improvements and bug fixes for the new experimental conquest mode!

Conquest improvements:

• Crew lock ignored in conquest mode

• Musket price increased from 1800 to 2000

• Bomb Launcher price increased from 1200 to 1500

• Double barrel price increased from 500 to 1000

• Battle drink bottles no longer appear in player death chests

• A player's weapons now also drop when dying, staying for 30 seconds like the death chest reverted due to bug

• Battle drink ship amount reduced from 100 to 50

• Destroyed ships now deplete 300 tickets instead of 350

New conquest additions:

• Kill/death ratio based weapon discount system added (this allows players with a bad k/d to buy weapons at a cheaper price, the lower your k/d the cheaper the prices

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug that caused team selection screen to block new ship creation when only 1 ship exists

• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to fire their weapon before it is equiped. Now you can only fire when your weapon is actually in your hand

• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused flag icons not to appear on the world map

• Fixed a bug that caused "can't mount (Mounted recently)" popup to appear on all players instead of only player that tries to mount a barrel to the front of the ship

• Fixed a bug that caused conquest pre-game servers to show 16 players max when it is actually 20
