Shiptest Tegu-class Communications Freighter

About The Pull Request

This PR adds a brand new ship to Nanotrasen's post-rework roster.

Images

The Tegu-class is an engineering freighter equipped with a full telecommunications setup and a subshuttle. It is built to not only facilitate communications between Nanotrasen-aligned vessels in the sector, but also foster several smaller networks for other vessels with a small array of relays. The ship also comes equipped with a small cargo department, an engineering department, a small communications room, and a supply office for the QM.

This PR also adds a new design disk for printing telecommunications parts.

To-do:

[ ] Write a guide for using the comms setup.
[ ] Common encryption keys?
[x] Ship description.
[ ] In-game testing.

I am begging you to finish this

this is technically already finished. it just needs a review and a description.

i do not like that the lightswitch in the officer's lounge controls the lights in the officers' quarters. there are also three light switches in the cargo office

this was done so i wouldn't have to make more areas and add APCs to the officer's quarters but in hindsight i probably should just do that. also the multiple lightswitches exist for the same reason you'd have two light switches on both ends of a hallway. it's more convenient like that.

i believe the pda painter is a centcom utility and it lets you have SUNS pdas so it would be best to remove it

i might add a generic sanitised version of the PDA painter later in a seperate PR. for now they can live without.

The "/turf/open/floor/plasteel/telecomms_floor" (north floor) starts with the normal, default airmix, 101.3 KPA, etc. The circuit floors (south floor) "turf/open/floor/circuit/telecomms" constantly produce a colder airmix, causing these two adjacent turfs to have atmos differences and process once they spawn in, so I think this might be a small performance concern. It was something I had to deal with on the Ranger too - you probably either want to set the circuit floors to normal circuit floors so there's no atmos differences, or make a new telecomms_floor type that has the same initial airmix.
