Crystal Isles: Add Extinction Element Nodes

Here's the problem:

You can't leave batteries in the charge nodes because idiots keep stealing them while you are trying to charge them.  It's hard to make element when you are constantly being jerked around by unscrupulous players.   On our server (845) its happening constantly, which means we have to sit on our thumbs for a few months until transfers open just to bring our tek stuff over from another map. #thatsucksmonkeybutt

 Agreed something needs to done to make the charge nodes useful/relevant. For CI, it appears there are only 2 ways to get element (not counting boss fight) - collect shards or get materials and craft at a charge node; the latter is the only option until they get their own replicator. At a rate of 3 element every ~ 40 minutes, it would take someone approximately 22 hours of game time to achieve this, not counting having to go to 3 separate biomes for the mats. Just not worth it.

On a related note, are there settings that can adjust the recharge time and output of the charge nodes?
