SSV Rostock - UPP Warship Map

[Steelpoint]

About the pull request

This PR adds the SSV Rostock, a UPP warship, as a template that can be spawned in by admins.

This is a fully mapped warship intended for use by the UPP, it is intended to allow an entire team of UPP to be spawned in, gear up, and deploy to a combat map/arena via dropships. It contains similar onboard amenities to the USS Almayer, including a fully stocked medbay, cargo bay, MP department and CIC.

It lacks some systems such as a fully functional requisitions ASRS system, and no shipside power system (infinite power is set to true). It also requires a admin to manually spawn in a dropship and lifeboat.

(Thanks to Zenith for the UPP wall/floor sprites!)

Explain why it's good for the game

See attached document for custom-made lore documentation in regards to this specific vessel, the Rostock, but also its class of ship in general, the Brandenburg-Class Expeditionary Frigate: Rostock Lore.txt

This ship will significantly increase the ability for server staff to run events for the UPP. Either to host a HvH event, to spawn the UPP as a alternative to the USCM for distress call, or to use the map as a small combat arena for the Xenomorphs or any other third party to use, either as a side mission or a thunder dome alternative.

The vessel does require some admin-intervention to make it fully operational, such as manually spawning in dropships and lifeboats, and activating the maps ability to use general communications, but in all other capacities the ship is fully functional, if you were to drop a team of OpFor with no gear, they would be able to be fully geared up.

In regards to the ships layout, I am overall happy with where it stands.

The only outstanding issues I can think of, that may or may not be addressed in this PR (as I'd need help or further research) are...

• Ship has no communications by default, needing a admin to manually activate it
• Dropships and lifeboats won't spawn on the ship, requiring them to be spawned and landed manually
• Certain cosmetics like wires won't load into their correct position due to this map being spawned as a template (they all default to their normal apperance, not the direction I designate them)

I've set the Rostock to be a lazy_load map. This does have the issue of lights not working, but I am told this is fixed in the hunting ground PR: #7486

I'm not sure if its best to keep it as a lazy_load or to make it spawn another way.

Also, it seems lazy_load won't work on at least New Varadero, but it will work on maps like 624.
