Space Weapons Fix Mod, v5

Change list:

  • The last tier of weapons on the tech tree before Ultimate weapons take much longer to research.
    • This makes it worthwhile pursuing weapons research that takes less time.
    • Ultimate weapons research takes significantly longer than before.
  • The Nano Ripper (new name: Singularity Ripper) has been scaled up so that it is more of a capital ship weapon.
  • A number of starbase modules have been stripped along with their pre-requisite techs.
    • There are still defensive and ship assist modules available, but not as many.
    • Some production assist and culture modules have been removed.
    • All but one of the sensor modules have been removed.
    • Mining modules are basically untouched.
    • The reason for this is because as has been mentioned, the AI cannot read past a certain arbitrary limit.  Accordingly, the module list below has been shortened.
