Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions- Reinstated the temporary population reductions on each continent. Dev Note: This change was mistakenly reset after rolling zone restarts Wednesday last week, resulting in poor server performance due to high populations in conjunction with the spawn system changes.
- Fixed an issue where skies would take too long to transition from one sky file to the next. This also fixes the problem with Oshur's underwater visuals persisting for a couple of seconds after resurfacing.
- Warpgate spawns on locked continents no longer appear in the redeploy dropdown.
- You no longer see underwater "god rays" while in the lower level of Naum Amp Station on Hossin.
- NS-30 "Gungnir" Vandal's magazine no longer disappears momentarily during a reload.
- Fixed an issue with DBC prices sometimes overlapping long Depot bundle lists.
- Havoc Missiles are now referred to by their correct name in the ESF directives.
- Polished various Conduit carry animations.
