Patch Notes: Update v1.0.3

This update will occur during our regular maintenance window on June 1st at 9am CDT.

What's new: we've addressed balance concerns on a number of modules and adjusted nuke damage across the board. We also heard your feedback and included an option to skip Bix and friends during the hangar VO. More captain customization options have been added and bugs continue to be squashed!
