0.998.17 Released

Hello Survivors!

The new servers are doing well, no issues to report thus far. If you didn't know, when 0.998 got released first, the servers borked out. I have since updated our networking solution to the latest version and rewrote bits to make it compatible with Nomad.

I'm aiming to get this patch stable before moving on to adding more exciting things, such as more vehicles, safe zone features, more quests, more weapons etc. I have a lot planned for Nomad, so keep checking back regularly to see.
