A few of you have asked me for screen shots of the new conquest parade
code in action.  Zach captured a few while running a client against a
test server.

The sequence is:

- conquest message appears as GOD->ALL

- freeze for one second, then all ships decloak, made visible to all,
  and plasma in flight cancelled

- during the next five seconds:
	- all ships are moved slowly into a ring formation
	- a ring of plasma rotates out from the planet

- during the next three seconds:
	- the ring of plasma continues to enlarge approaching the ships

- in the last second:
	- GOD->ALL  Goodbye
	- ring of plasma and ships explode
	- reset galactic

- if there is no queue, allow return to new game
