Improvements

• Weapon swap now correctly registers a queued shot if the fire button is still held when the equip animation completes
• Added a short delay before firing is allowed after swapping weapons, preventing accidental shots during the swap animation
• Adjusted weapon equip delays and updated the marksman rifle equip animation to better match its equip timing
• Updated the LMG aim-down-sights shoot animation to reduce excessive camera jump
• Minor SMG weapon swap delay adjustment
• Reduced the health of the Plasma Fused enemies encountered on high Threat Levels

• Added safeguards to prevent enemy ships from staying fully invincible as a scripted sequence even when players approach on jetpack

Miscellaneous

• Removed the developer menu tools in public release builds of the game. This will affect some currently existing mods, but ultimately stop the problem of "cheating" players ruining progression and the experience for other unsuspecting players in a lobby.
