Third playable ship added to Supporters Pack DLC

Shybeetle
This exotic military vessel was built by the Kha-Wat, a distant Insectoid civilization known for their love of artistic chirping. The ship is built to employ the hailstorm tactic, overwhelming enemy ships with a hail of synchronized projectiles & missiles. This requires management of ammo, and regularly producing or buying extra explosives or other materials necessary for projectiles. Comes with nukes, and crew of various insectoids.

In addition to the ship, this update provides a valuable update to localization, plus a fix to a notorious bug.
