Why / Balance

horis97 on the Frontier discord raised an issue with the barge's power failing on them fairly consistently. A quick review revealed that the solars were feeling into the substation but not the SMES. This housekeeping change feeds the solars and generator both into the same power pool which should alleviate some of the headaches of maintaining consistent charge from that power system.

Now the solars are more actively providing juice for the entire power system and all systems can be actively monitored from the pilot's seat.

How to test

Buy it. Check that the power is going where it should be.
Double check that all thrusters are actually turning on/off with the switch.

Also a price bump to 49000 to pay for the SMES. I could muck with the inventory to keep it under budget but that feels like it should be reserved for a deeper examination of the shuttle.

#2734 contains a barge update that will cause a merge conflict if merged first, however it may be discarded (this commit can override that incomming one wholesale for an actual update)

Confirmed all information stated in the PR description is correct - power is working and sufficient for the number of thrusters (togglable thruster button should help regardless), air alarm setup seems fine. Bridge is fine, thruster setup is balanced and reasonable for the ship's size.

Looks good to me.
