[REL] Bearing only for visual contacts

I found the temptation to use the WO's range estimations too tempting for my plotting. This is far more realistic and puts even more of the burden of plotting targets into the captain's hands. This mod is probably only suited for those already playing with map contacts off. Enjoy!

This small mod removes the watch officer's ability to accurately call out a range of the closest visual contact in the message box. Now when you ask the WO for "nearest visual contact" (CTRL-V)he will give you only the bearing and "range unknown" in the message box. (EDIT: 2/16/2013, I gave up on trying to make the message box give you "long, medium or short range." I'm sure there's a way to do it I just don't have time to experiment with it.)
