Update 0.41: Difficulty Balance Update

Hey everyone!

This update most importantly improves balance, removes OP-fire nukes from enemies and reduces the overall amount of ships in hostile fleets.

We've also introduced some new features (crew in cryosleep has a small chance to heal injuries over time now, for example), weapons, perks and random events. We've also added extra content to some existing events.
