Added New Skills for Pirates.

• Brute: ‘Bullet Shield’ passive skill - the amount of damage taken during ‘Bring it On’ is reduced
• Thief: Her base damage has been boosted, and ‘Light Touch’ means that she remains invisible for a short period of time during ‘Who Goes There’, even when under fire.
• Juggernaut: ‘Super Strike’ special ability - he temporarily sacrifices personal safety for a massive damage boost (increases damage at the cost of a reduction in toughness)
• Skellywag: The new special ability ‘Marrow Shield’ reduces damage taken temporarily. ‘Power of Voodoo’ passive skill allows the Skellywag to be resurrected as a Skellywag with 50% health, instead of a mere skeleton.
• Priestess: Not only has 'Nighty Night’ had its range increased, but her new skill 'Long Arm of the Loa’ increases the range even further
• Heavy Gunner: Range and damage increased

Witch Doctor now protects other units during an exploration event (more likely to succeed with Witch Doctors as part of the ship's crew).

Reduced recruitment times and costs for certain pirates

Added upgrade level for the Pirate Catcher.

A whole multitude of bug fixes, general improvements and optimisations!
