Zero-K: Zero-K v1.0.5.9

The Balance Corps are out in force tonight, administering beatings left and right. Several bugfixes and interface improvements have also been spotted making their way into the city.

== Interface ==
* Metal/energy reserve must now be enabled in options (Settings/Interface/Resource Bars. Metal and energy reserve can be set independently of each other with right-click.
* Bots get their own name in tooltip and awards screen rather than that of owning player.
* Clippy Comments: Rank limit defaults to off
* Mex circles are drawn at sea level rather than sea floor

== Balance==

Rocko
* Speed 2.1 -> 2.2

Tremor. The DPS buff in v1.0.4.17 was written as 23% but was accidentally 66%. The buff since before v1.0.4.17 is now 12.5% more DPS with 50% more projectiles.
* Range 1400 -> 1300
* Damage 200 -> 135

Buoy
* Speed 1.5 -> 1.4
