Modding:

- Mod rules files can now add 'UseThisFileIfNoVersionMatch = true' to tell Cosmoteer to load that rules file if no rules file with a matching version number can be found.

- BeamEmitter now detects colliders overlapping the emission point if the new 'ColliderOverlapTest' parameter is set to true.

- In developer mode, all game modes now support teleporting ships to their destination (ctrl+enter) and deleting ships (del).

- ToggledComponents containing network components could cause a crash when being toggled on/off by another network component.

- Bullets that used ProximityAcceleration with ships could cause desyncs. (Only affected certain mods.)

- For backwards-compatibility, the logo ship fly in/out sounds are now optional.

- Part and bullet components that are "void" (only have a name ID without =, {}, or \[]) will now be treated as if they don't exist. You can use this effectively "remove" components from lists of inherited components.

- The SpawnBullets effect now has an "EffectScale" parameter which is passed to the spawned bullets.

- Bullet PenetratingHit components now support splitting bullets based on damage applied from a DamagePool via the new "DamagePoolBulletSplitting" rules. (See overclocked railgun bullets.)
