Nerfs Mantis Blades

[Burzah]

What Does This PR Do

Provides much needed nerfs to the Mantis Blades.

Raises the prices on Mantis Blades 60 -> 75
Reduces the force on Mantis blades from 20 -> 15 (Syndicate) and 18 -> 12 (Nanotrasen)
Removes Mantis blades from the Nuclear Uplink
Removes Mantis blades from Surplus
Removes Mantis blades from discount item list

Why It's Good For The Game

Mantis blades were a bit over tuned when introduced to the game. This levels them out after being tested in different conditions with multiple Balance Team members. This puts them more in line with higher damaged weapons while considering other items they can be paired with.

Testing

Spawned in Uplink and checked Force on Mantis Blades (Syndicate) and checked their price.
Spawned in Mantis Blades (Nanotrasen) and checked the force.
Spawned in a Nuclear Uplink and checked to see if Mantis Blades were excluded.

The nerf is needed, but this nerf seems a bit extreme considering other high TC options, such as a dualsaber, chainsaw, and sleeping carp. Also, why no discount when other options can have it?

This was something that was decided by working with a few of the balance team members to see what was fair considering the ability of the weapons. Having the double attack, pry, parry, and no drop came into consideration. Also being paired with other items, which was why discounts and the price increase happened. This can be looked at again at another time if it needs to be adjusted.
