Discovery 4.81 beta 4 Release

Fourth beta is no less than release candidate version. Most known bugs and issues were fixed here. However, some unsolved problems still remain, mission lag is one of the main things that needs to be tested.

Bug reports will not be a frequent thing this time, so I recommend to pay special attention to balance: ship balance, weapons (capship weapons in particular), reputation changes and other things like that. No more new features will be implemented this time, so I'm leaving all suggestions for next releases.
