new community map!! underpass by Richard0820
duplicated power ups aren't circles
metastability makes power ups triangles instead of circles
3->4 seconds of half life before exploding
only metastability duplicated power ups have the lighting graphic
mob's that fall off the map now die instead of just being removed

also you can't passively regen energy while shield is disabled
standing wave rework
coupling gives iceIX -> max energy
