Firework Director

With the addition that fireworks can be shot from a dispenser and will accelerate on the axis that the out face is oriented in, I think that it would be a good idea to add a director faction that works with fireworks. I imagine that this would function similarly to the AA director but with fireworks.

The advantages of this are that it is an Anti player (AP) weapon and can be used to eliminate players that are unprotected or are under light protection. It is also mostly self-balancing as fireworks have a fuse time and will explode if they are too far away from a target. This means that a ship needs to be somewhat close to sed target in order to be useful. I feel that this would be a nice adition and would open a new door for players to explor untilize and exlpoit in there movecraft adventures. # #

This is a very good suggestion! I think I am going to wait for the Movecraft 8.0 rewrite so that we can return to using custom type file options before implementing this, but it should be relatively simple to do.

The only problem I see is that the dispensing part was added in 1.15 and shooting from crossbows was added in 1.14. so implementing this for any version lower than 1.14 seems from my point of view is going hard if possible.

I've decided to delay this feature until after 1.18 is released. At that point it is expected that Movecraft will drop support for 1.14 and 1.15 versions, which will enable us to do this without version checking code.
