Bus Routes

About the PR

This PR aims to improve the experience of riding the bus. The bus should be something that is okay to use and not a colossal pain.

Goals of the PR:

1. All POIs barring ones with onboard hostiles (anomalous lab/geode) and the cargo depots should have bus service.
2. Apart from Frontier Outpost*, stations should only have one bus docked at a time at most.
3. The route a particular bus is for, the stops it covers, and its current location should be readily accessible information.
4. The approximate time the next bus should serve a given station should be readily accessible information.
5. The amount of time to get from any one station to another should be reasonable.

A prototype is added to store information about bus routes. These store the time buses spend waiting per stop, the time buses spend in transit between stops, the number of the route, and the number of stations needed on the route before another bus is added.

When the NFAdventure system is done populating the round's stations, the bus routes are created, and buses are spawned to run the routes. Each bus is numbered (e.g. "Bus 1A" is the first of several buses serving route 1, "Bus 2" is the only bus serving route 2) and every bus on the same route covers the same stations.

Transit time is decreased to 80 seconds transit time and 60 seconds at a station (down from 50/180).

Current routes are as follows (outwards from Frontier Outpost, looping back to Frontier at each extent)

Outstanding issues:

• Functional bus routes.
• In-person, which bus is which should be immediately obvious - probably through a screen.
• Dead simple scheduling PDA app for points 3-4
• A wallmount poster with examine text for the next bus time?
• Buses should ideally have route-specific livery - "the red route", "the blue route", "the green route" etc, possibly with matching IFF colours.
• Frontier Outpost needs docks for these new buses.*

Why / Balance

Frontier Outpost has two major things going for it:

• Pilotable shuttles.
• Niche, off-station points of interest.

Pilotable shuttles are in a good spot. POIs are hurting. If we have a way to easily get from one place to the other that doesn't take thirty minutes, you'll probably see more bus use and have a better overall POI experience.

How to test

1. Currently, 5 buses should spawn (two per route).
2. Validate that each bus matches the route in the picture by riding the bus to each stop.
