About The Pull Request

This PR sets the occurrences of the fax spam, rodent spawn, spider spawn, and cargo pod events to 0, disabling them from occurring randomly.

Why It's Good For The Game

These events didn't really add much to the game, I felt. They either too often (and in the case of fax spam, so often as to desensitize players from actually useful faxes), or they caused problems (I've seen rats spawn in, chew a wire, and then die and leave half a ship without power due to this event).

I'd argue that lotteries also fall within this umbrella, but I'll leave the floor open to maintainers regarding what should be done to them. (I've considered reflavoring them, but I can't think of anything good)

Also: pictured, a supply pod hitting cryo and destroying the lights there, as well as burning down a poster
