Carriers: Reduxed -- Titans Patch

*** IMPORTANT ***
While the title says the mod is a 'patch' it actually changes nothing in the origional Carriers Reduxed mod. In other words, treat it as if it is a seperate mod and enable it in the mods section of the launcher, don't just assume it will automatically be enabled.

That out of the way, here is the actual description:


To all you filthy casuals who have been pestering me about a Carriers Reduxed function for the Titans DLC, your relentlessness has finally paid off >:D

First thing to mention is that, in order to get the 20-something fighter count squadrons for Titans, I had to technically change their designation to that of a carrier. As a result, if you see that your Titan of choice suddenly shows that it is on the Carrier Chassis on its stats page, it means the mod is working fine.

So, now that we have established that your Titans can carry 70-something fighters in total, lets move on to the other stat changes.

Defiance:
* Increased the shield strength from 60,000 to 110,000.
* Increased hull strength from 250,000 to 350,000 because a ship 3 times the size of a carrier should NOT have the same amount of hitpoints as one.
* Increased heavy weapon ammo count from 120 to 170.
* Increased the battery energy (light weapons) from 300 to 375.
* Increased the battery energy regeneration from 22 to 25.
* Added a Cloak.
* Increased the Sensor, Grappler, and Transporter range to be slightly superior to that of the carriers in Carriers Reduxed.
* Increased cargo capacity from 1,000 to 1,400.

Juggernaut:
* Increased the shield strength from 100,000 to 125,000.
* Increased the shield regeneration from 333.33 to 450 (the Defiance shield regen is 1,100 by default, so don't look at me like I'm taking the Defiance's tank role away).
* Increased heavy weapon ammo count from 130 to 200.
* Increased the battery energy from 700 to 1000.
* Increased the battery energy regeneration from 22 to 35.
* Added a Cloak.
* Increased Sensor, Grappler, and Transporter range to the same amount as the Defiance.
* Increased cargo capacity from 800 to 1,100.

Legion:
* Increased the shield strength from 120,000 to 135,000
* Increased the shield regeneration from 300 to 400.
* Increased the battery energy from 440 to 560.
* Increased the battery energy regeneration from 21 to 27.
* Added a Cloak.
* Increased Sensor, Grappler, and Transporter range to the same amount as the Defiance.
* Increased cargo capacity from 1,200 to 1,350.


Other changes:
Prosperity now also shares in the benefit of the increased fighter wing size.
Since the increased squadreon count is still derived from the Carrier Familiarity perk, in order to benefit from it you must have that perk. Otherwise, you will be stuck with 3-5 count squadrons.


Compatibility:
It should be compatible with anything that does not alter the stats of the Defiance, Juggernaut, or Legion.
Anything that alters Prosperity should be fine, however.


Some of you will notice that I did not buff the legion as hard as the other two. This is because the Defiance is criminally underused and I have a personal bias in favor of the Juggernaut (channeling my inner Palpatine and pretending it is an Eclipse-class Star Destroyer). Also, the Legion is already plenty powerful and did not need as much done to it to keep the 3 ships equal.

Some others of you may think what I have done is take a bunch of OP ships and made them completely broken. My defense for these changes is the same as my defense to the changes I made to carriers: it is meant to be played on one of the more advanced difficulty settings. It is only OP from the perspective of someone who does not play (on) Hard and work NOT harder :P

Known bugs:
*The camera panning, zoom, and positioning all are slightly bugged. Since it seems the camera positioning is directly connected to the ship class. Since I changed the ship class from Titan to Carrier in order for the Titans to take advantage of the Carrier Familiarity perk, the camera positioning was made to be the same as Carriers (i.e zoomed in and wonky on ships that are significantly bigger than carriers). I do not have the technical expertise to fix this, so unfortunately it will have to be left as is.
