Title: Makes the cargo console force-launch command more obvious

The docking controller system was designed with the prevention of unsafe shuttle launches as it's first priority. The last thing I wanted to happen was for shuttles to be taking off when they shouldn't and venting areas into space. At least, not without player input.

Because the system errs so heavily on preventing launches, the force launch mechanism was built in as an important failsafe to allow shuttles to be moved regardless of docking state. It's something that I expect will need to be used occasionally.

That said, if a shuttle requires a force launch too often then something is probably wrong. However, the docking system should not stop shuttles from being moved, and players should know that they have the option of manually moving shuttles via force launch.
