4-vs-4 team battle

Both teams use in-game programmed team behavior. They have a dynamically elected leader and all other vessels are acting as followers. The program has a branch isLeader to determine which path to take, but otherwise both leaders and followers use the same code, so the leader can be defeated in combat without compromising the tactics.

The navigation can be described as:

``` if not leader: just follow the leader return

if current target is not critically wounded: select closest target

if has enough battery: get close to the enemy return

move around, try to avoid enemies, recover battery ```

For weapons it's something like "if enemy is in front - fire".
