Skin Tweaks

Here's an update from Nurse Flan with changes for Mecha Aurelion Sol:

"Update:

Hello! NurseFlan's been working hard to compile and share all of the feedback with the team. As of this afternoon, she's locked down some changes the team will be working on. Some of these changes have already been checked in as of Wednesday evening.

(Q) core should now have a red flickering light, with a darker background on the map floor.

(W) passive ships have a red circle glow/core around them!

Joke emote has new glasses - it's black with a neon teal rim!

The chest turbine has been pushed in/sized down!

The waffle tail has been fixed, but it's only really noticeable on his shadow - it looks much less broken, and more pointy."
