Project ARES: Almayer Sentries

[realforest2001]

About the pull request

Changes the sprites for the sentry deployment systems aboard the USS Almayer to use a custom floor based holder, rather than a floating wall mount.

Also adds mini sentry deployers, along with an AI-Core subtype that autodeploys on lockdown.

Explain why it's good for the game

Currently the sentry deployment system sprites are designed as if they're mounted to walls, and they usually are, but on the Almayer they're essentially floating next to the fuel pumps. This changes that.

Also it allows the AI Core to be protected from xenos without subjecting non-existant joes to melee combat.

They push you off of them when they deploy, but they don't have density:

Also kinda minor, but their examine icon is odd:

Then again, a regular sentry isn't much better...

the colors should be consistent with the rappel hatch

also there should be a deploying animation unless i'm missing something

[realforest2001]

For animation the current deploy system doesn't use one so I haven't made one. I'd have to animate and delay everything on both systems otherwise.

[realforest2001]

Examine icons I can't do much about, they're kinda borked on just about everything in the game
