changedRelation stances with independents now align with faction faction relations (Belligerent, Strained, Neutral, Cooperative, Allied) for simplicity sake. - With independents, cooperative and allied do not grant shared logs or radar, but instead grant a 20% cargo capacity bonus at cooperative, and 20% speed buff to resource trading with allied, for all forms of resource trading. - Cleaned up the two faction stance diplomacy screens into a simpler interface with everything in one place - Also cleaned up the expedition bonus previews so these display accurate stat previews before and during expeditions
changedThere will probably be cooler things we can do with independents later, like economy related stuff, but don't want to disturb the balance of the MP world too much, so a little cargo route buff for now for allied independents
