Update 0.823 Alpha - Important fixes of multiplayer, radar and tutorial

In this update we fixed some important bugs with radar, so a ships no longer will suddenly disappear right in range of your radar.

Besides that, stability of multiplayer now should be a bit better.

New options for world generator:

Maybe size of the changelog is not very impressive, most time was spent on analysis of magic bugs with a radars and improvements of core, and now this important feature should work as intended.

We will try to add more interesting features in the next updates.

Oh, and by the way! Celestial Command is 20% off until 1 November.
