Balancing

- Reduced chance of double crystals on Moons

- Adjusted prices of a few modules

Modules
- Increased Stinker poison size and duration slightly
- Soul Stealer automatically picks up souls on enemy death
- Soul Stealer now requires a lot less souls to repair ship
- Hull now has 4 slots
- Larger saw area, reduced energy usage and some audio and visual polish
- Reduced rapid laser range slightly
Enemies
- Spitter death explosion is larger and does more damage

Other

Swarm
It is time that the Swarm game mode got some more love

Other
- Adjusted the Bubble model skin, I hope you like it
