Change Frontier and NFSD offset #1880

About the PR

Two things:

Why / Balance

Due to upstream changes, stations by default spawn at a random position with a random rotation. Combined with our recent POI rework, NFSD Outpost could end up inside Frontier, or mere metres from it. Not ideal.

Frontier Outpost should be at (0, 0) always. We can just say all "global" coordinates in the game are actually relative to Frontier, easy peasy. :)

NFSD Outpost is moved out a little bit to give the system more room to breathe. The previous minimum of 500 metres isn't tiny by any means, but imo feels a little too close.

How to test

  1. Start a round
  2. tp 0 0 1 and observe how you end up on Frontier Outpost
  3. Look at a mass scanner and note that NFSD is between 750 and 1,000 metres away.
  4. Rejoice.
