AI War Beta 5.017, "Return of the Hunter/Killers," Released!

This one has the lately-omitted AI Hunter/Killer ships returning to take up a role in exo-galactic strike forces.  Perhaps more interesting to more people are the forcefield changes: the blocking effect that was removed in the last patch is now back, but the various other forcefield improvements from the last patch have been retained: regarding teleporting enemy ships, etc.

Also fixed a couple of rare-ish bugs, and tweaked the hardened forcefields as well as the high-armor-piercing ships.

Enjoy!
