[h3]Bug fixes[/h3]

• A few weapons were missing sound effects after the last update
  
• Fixed issue where the pause menu buttons would lose focus and quit to menu instead of resuming the game.
  

Also made some behind the scenes adjustments to Hangar ship save files. There should be no noticable change.
