Build v0.7.0! Post-pitch Prototype Iteration 3

Fire! The pink player's shots sail towards the yellow player.

In this release we continue to re-add in old game mechanics prior to the upcoming feature lock and to experiment with some new ones such as ship shunting. Our programmers have also began the process of refactoring and optimising the game post-prototype in order to get the game running as smoothly as possible.
