About The Pull Request

With this PR, I'm making some awful or bad blackmarket items less bad (some are still bad imo). I don't aim to tweak every item that I find mediocre at best, because it ultimately boils down to opinion and maybe what I don't like, others do, but also because the feature was designed to have some "scammy" items in there (the broken chameleon hat is a prime example).

Moving on, some of the more noticeable changes:

The rest should be price changes.

Why It's Good For The Game

Many of the blackmarkets choices are downright a bummer, and I'm not talking about things like the broken chameleon hat, but stuff such as shotgun darts, science googles, thermite; I mean, SOME of stuff that's OBVIOUSLY easy and more convenient to get from a (proto/auto) lathe or the chemist and just make the blackmarket look kinda bad.

Changelog

:cl: balance: reduced the prices of some blackmarket items across the board. balance: the thermite bottle (from the contraband spawner and the blackmarket), now spawns with 50u of thermite vs 30, enough to melt one reinforced wall. add: Replaced the science googles from the blackmarket with a security + health scanner HUD. add: Replaced the single shotgun dart from the blackmarket with a box of XL shotgun darts. add: The donk pocket box from the blackmarket now comes in different flavors. /:cl:
