BUG FIXES
CICADA- Energy hardpoints in side torsos will prioritize the higher mount first (except CDA-X5 that must use lower mounts and CDA-3C which has a special right torso rooftop mount)
- Energy weapons prioritize the top mounted energy hardpoint on the Left Arm first (now consistent with right arm)
- The second energy weapon on the left arm properly uses the side mounted location. (now consistent with right arm)
- The second energy weapon on the left arm now uses a new secondary side mount and no longer stacks on top of the primary energy mount
- Left Arm PPC weapons mounts now use the correct corresponding PPC weapon model instead of all using the generic PPC model
- Fixed a missing piece of geometry that caused a hole to appear on the mech's right torso when only a missile weapon is equipped.
- Fixed a bug that caused the empty hardpoint air vent model to appear and overlap with the Ballistic weapon model on the right torso
- Fixed a bug that caused the empty hardpoint air vent model to appear and overlap with the Ballistic weapon model on the right torso
- Explosion particle effects now appear when head component is destroyed
