Frontier Economy (Adds money and Trade)

Note:
As it turns out I might be doing some more updates to this as a side effect of another project. Nothing certain yet, but I at least have a working Dev workspace again now. - Author

=====================================
Interesting Unforseen Consequences (For Server Admins):
=====================================

• You can now disable players starting with ships or tools. They start with just enough cash to buy tools.
  
• They can mine by hand and sell the ore to the main market to make enough money to buy enough parts to build a ship !
  
• Griefers hate having to do hard work .. no more "ramming" issues unless they steal a ship.
  
• If ship stealing and ramming is an issue, put up the price of grinders to above the starting money by editing the pricing! Now to grief requires mining and hard work first.. they hate that.
  
• You should build an oxygen supply and/or medbay in or near location 0,0,0 on the map to "represent" your NPC trading station.. miners dont appreciate suffocating!
  
• Players are more likely to sell off their junk ore instead of tossing it out an airlock, minimising lag hopefully!

We also have a github for the curious:

Also running pre-release test versions on my game server "Ramblers Frontier Wars"
http://se.our-game.net/indexb.html and https://space-engineers.com/server/16582/ for details.

Known issues:
1) Trying to trade with someone in space master mode is not a good idea. Game bug not economy.
2) Due to Keens changes to the realism settings of space engineers, refining/assembling speed and inventory size settings can change the manufacturing requirements. This may have a subtle effect on your economy as the default price table is based on 1:1:1. Eg Platinum ;o)
3) NPCZONE's - strange thing may happen if zones overlap.. try to avoid operlappng them.
4) If a player and NPC zone overlap, the NPC zone has priority.
5) A few commands dont do anything yet.
6) The movehere paramter defaults size to 2500 sphere
