re: the develop blob's index space is SOLVED -- it follows strings.tbl, cut items and all

Browse Source 
Three hand-written probe saves settled what a mission payout could not.

  all 54 owned  -> every tab fills and the lists WRAP, giving exact counts
                   (GUN 8, BEAM 8, LASER 4, MPM 5, ASM 5, B/R 7, CANNON 6,
                   SPECIAL 6 = 43 displayed) and confirming the display order is
                   weapon.tbl's order item-for-item. It also killed the idea
                   that gate-unmet owned flags are suppressed: Maelstrom Bomb
                   (Stage 6) and Grav Cannon XGS (Stage 12) both rendered at a
                   Stage-2 save.
  only 9 + 39   -> STILETTO BG1 Developed (control) AND TOMAHAWK ALPHA RAIL GUN
                   Developed. The CANNON block starts at 39, not 38.
  only 39 + 48  -> JAMMING SYSTEM Developed. SPECIAL starts at 48, and with six
                   SPECIAL items the array closes exactly at 53, nothing spare.

So the blob is indexed by strings.tbl's item order -- the display order PLUS the
items only the localisation file carries (Adhesive Mine B2A, and three of
Ballista GSH / Designator LH / Smoke Marker Launcher / Bumble UV). They never
appear in the Arsenal but they hold slots, which is the entire reason the tail
looked broken. It also explains the retail save's five "unexplained" owned
entries at 33 and 45/46/47: cut items, shipped flagged owned, never rendered.

That weapon.tbl's No_Equipment..Wep_83 run is ALSO 54 long is a coincidence, and
it cost real time -- the two orders agree only to index 32. Recorded as such.
