[Abandoned] Directed Energy Weapons - Rebalance

EDIT: This mod is not being updated at this time. If I learn about an alternative mod, I will leave a link. I have been too busy IRL with all this COVID stuff going on as I am an essential worker. Another user has taken up rebalancing this mod over at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2038553878


This mod was based on the original Directed Energy Mod over at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1724382943 as of 1/27/2020.

This mod increases the production cost of all lasers, and also adds some extra components to make the Ultra Heavy Fixed Laser impossible to build without admin-spawned items.

A short summary of changes are as follows:
- All weapons had their base cost doubled.
- All weapons have power cells and superconductors as required components.
- Power cells correspond to damage per second of a laser by a factor of 10^(-1). Ergo, a DPS of 2400 means it requires 240 energy cells to construct.
- Superconductors correspond to range of the weapon at a 1:1 ratio. Ergo, 3000 superconductors means it has a range of 3000 meters. If a turret has multiple barrels, this cost is multiplied per barrel.
- The Ultra Heavy Fixed Laser now requires three types of alien components to build. Only admins can spawn these items.
- Reduced weapon ranges across the board except Ultra Heavy Fixed Laser.

I made this for my own Space Engineers server.
