Minor tweaks and bugfixes

(temporarilty) Removed civlian ships because it causes a potential fps drop
Also made red skybox more orange to make the icons more visible
Fixed some random errors in the console during playtime. Nothing major or too-often recurring though, so there should be no impact on performance.
Fixed center of map firing (maybe)
Fixed bomber hangar launching fighters while still being constructed
If bombers move away too far then they will now 'dock' instead of flying over the entire map (300 range)
Fixed that the follow camera would keep the camera-smoothing on after the target that was followed was destroyed

Spent 4 hours so far cleaning up and categorising the trello todo list
Disabled recoil visualisation for now
Manually set references for all weapon origin points
Updated Krautak visuals

Muzzle flare, projectile, beam and missile experiments

I've just finished some changed visualisations for all ingame weaponry. Its an experiment most of all, so I don't know if I am going to keep it like this or not. The goal is to make things look better, hence the new muzzle flares and the adjusted beam weapons.

Let me know what you guys think! Does this look better? Or the previous iteration of weapon visuals?
