Why / Balance

There where some weird Pirate bountys that just dont fit well with how pirates are played on frontier.

Most items the pirate steal should be replaceable and not attack other player ships that realy rely on some of the items.

For example stealing a medic's techfab ist just bad as medics rely on that techfab to do their work, and replacing it is a lot more difficult then reasonable for it to be stolen.

For similar reason hotplate bounty and deep fryer bounty have been replaced with microwave bounty. As stealing the microwave still leaves food ships their oven which can be used alternatively. Additionally microwaves are a lot more easily replaced.

Some items that are ooc inconvenience dont make much sense like the PDA bounty. Sure all it does can be done without it in some way in game. For a pirate trying to keep everything fun for both sides this is a weird bounty.

Command stamps have been made replaceable on FO(SR,DoC,PM) and NFSD(Sheriff). This bounty should place a target on the command memmbers themself for pirates to get. The one stamp that could be stolen without command memmbers would be the Sheriffs stamp on NFSDO. Tho I hope pirates try to opt for the more fun engagement in RP with command members instead of trying to steal it behind the back on NFSDO.

CDET have been added as a bounty being something of a weird and possibly fun target if they have been setup.

Sheriffs X-01 laser pistol, even tho I personally dont fully like the idea of this bounty. I see that it could drive interesting engagement, as its only obtainable via a sheriff. This item being a high value unique item makes it not replaceable for a sheriff who may use it, making this a exception compared to other bountys being more replaceable.

Some values have been adjusted for trying to make them more reasonable.

I have attempted to make gold, diamond, coin, plain ring and set stone rings somewhat bound by their item value. This is not about setting a hard value per doubloon and more a attempt of setting a deciding guideline to make them reasonable to compared what is being taken away from players. *Note: Ring bountys only accepts non printed rings.

Technical details

A Bounty just needs the bounty id and the items bounty id to be identical to be valid.

Removed some Orphan definitions inside 'pirate-bounties.ftl' and sorted them alphabetically.
