Patch 165

Command center function:
- Ship parts must now be connected to a command center in order to be controlled.
- Autoaim/revolute joints, pistons and (activated) energy chains count.
- A warning is shown for non-connected ship parts in the editor.

Visual stuff:
- Improved the debris particle effect.
- Repair bots and interceptors can now be colored.
- New interceptor texture, fixed interceptor trails.
- New torpedo explosion & new energy chain effect.

- Fixed a bug causing the difficulty to reset on NG+.
- Fixed a bug from patch 164 causing the AI modes to malfunction.
