	* [https://github.com/elwynor/elwge/commit/3ddefff629389296c9705c616051156abf342f37 fix for cybs not pursing user on channel 0] – Once a game has loaded all NPCs, Cybertrons will not pursue a ship on user channel 0. Before a Cyb is dispatched to a ship, notclaimed() in GECYBS.C will check to see if this ship is already claimed ("cybmine") by the maximum amount of pursuers. However, since Droids do not set a cybmine value, they default to 0, and notclaimed() counts them. As such, Cybs will never claim this ship. This adds a specific Cyborg check to notclaimed() and adds a cybmine=255 to all new Droids, correcting the problem.		* [https://github.com/elwynor/elwge/commit/3ddefff629389296c9705c616051156abf342f37 fix for cybs not pursing user on channel 0] – Once a game has loaded all NPCs, Cybertrons will not pursue a ship on user channel 0.

Since its max_accel value is 0, it is unable to rotate. Therefore, it will set itself to a high warp speed, never find the ship it is attempting to pursue, and crash into the galactic barrier. This excludes all cybs with max_accel == 0 from movement routines.		*[https://github.com/elwynor/elwge/commit/88056e9bd8ce4bb700527de409f6e22bb67ea245 cyberbases should never move] – Cyberbases should never move, but if you attack one and flee without destroying it, it will attempt to pursue using cyb_check_lockon().

			MSG glow ups:

			All of these clean up color codes so that the ending color of a message doesn't "bleed" into the prompt. It also uses specific bold/non-bold colors and ends every text box (that ends by returning to a prompt) with a bright white color code, so the game doesn't dim and brighten as you play. No spelling or grammar fixes (yet?), keeping close to the original.
