Add a Ping indicator

[Valdoroth]

This game seriously needs a ping indicator that tells you how good your connection to the server is. I suggest it go up next to the map-radar thingy.

Throw in one of the IPs the last hop that allows ICMP request, i.e. 208.80.251.154 and increase the ping frequency to 10s or so. It's not 100% accurate due to it not taking into account the overhead on game traffic, but atleast it'll give you a ballpark figure of how far you truly are from the server, and you can always leave it running.
