About the PR

Added duster to NFSD sergeant, sheriff, and bailiff uplinks for 15 FUC (the gun you see on malinois and paladin)
Added sergeant and bailiff to the list of people who can make an NFSD fab

Why / Balance

The duster is the equivalent to pirate cannons, except only nonlethal* and currently is only mapped onto two ships. For 15 FUC, you can now get a board for more. This allows more NFSD ships to engage in ship to ship combat that isn't just throwing chorts at the problem or using the mass AOE EMP emitter.

*technically you can get frag and blast rounds via expeds and enemy loot VERY RARELY but considering how nfsd players do not frequently exped and even with frequent exped groups I don't think you could fill more than 1-2 bins of lethal grenades, it's probably fine. Also chorts are more accessible and already a thing.

NFSD fab is purely to decrease the reliance on a 24/7 sheriff. This is not the only thing that needs to change to ease the burden on sheriff players but this is the least offensive. NFSD fab was often ahelped for whenever a sheriff was not present at round start, as it's critical for your ability to actually play NFSD.

Similarly, Bailiffs and Sergeants can get NFSD comm chips. They could already get it from a vendor but it was kinda weird that only the sheriff could make more normally.
