Update #4 - drones and gamepad controller

In today's update following changes to the game have been made:
- integrated Drones, finally :) you can find them in Upgrade store and attach to your ship on "Arm Your Ship" screen
- fixed number of issues with initializing screen resolution, however we are aware some issues still exist, if anyone encounters on something strange, please let us know
- soft launch for gamepad controller support, featuring limited support at this point (see notes below)
- added option to select controller type under options menu
- added help screen for gamepad controls along with existing help screen for keyboard and mouse controls - accessed via F1 during game level
- added helper calculation of your trading amount above the entry field (so you don't need calculator on a side)
- stabilized economy of resources within trading system
- fixed bug with boss enemy where you would get over 2 Billion of credits and enter into negative range

About gamepad controller support at this point:
- gamepad controls are modelled based on X360 controller and are mapped for it
- game recognizes gamepad controller which MUST be connected before you start the game
- game still doesn't recognize connect/disconnect events -> that is in the works and will come up in one of the following updates
- within the game level, pressing Y button on controller or F1 on keyboard will bring up help screen for the controls
- there is no customization screen for controls -> we expect to have it ready by the date game goes in full release
