Expanded Ship Sections [latest]

This mod began with the motivation to change menacing ships associated with the "Become the Crisis" ascension perk to use the empire's cultural ship designs, but it has now expanded in scope to contain a variety of ship-related gameplay adjustments and fixes.

- Modifies menacing ships so they use the empire's cultural ship models.
- As a result, also adds some extra component combination options for menacing ships.
- Adds carrier-themed sections for Titans.
- Adds a "menacing" version of frigates and battleships.
- Adds picket ship computer to battleships, and corrects some missing ship computers on other ship sizes.
- Adds Artillery combat computers on Nanite Swarmers.
- Reduced cost of upgrading ships with very minor design changes.
- Fixes high-tier cloaking field generators not being defined as an upgrade (they still will not auto-upgrade in practice, due to hard-coded issues).
- Revised most event-spawned ships to allow merging/adding ships, upgrading, and assigning admirals. These ships will now use naval capacity, and several will be able to drop debris where previously disabled.
- Adds gov't policies for selecting default fleet stances for bombardment and aggressiveness.
- Revised the 5-year Nanite Harvester event such that it spawns all ships condensed into full fleets, rather than a bunch of separate ones.
- Adds a policy to select whether you want your 5-year nanite yields in the form of nanites (resources, the new default), swarmer ships (the original), or interdictor ships.
- Balanced the weapon slots on the Nanite Interdictor ship, revised from one section to three for more design flexibility, and revised to use a cooler ship mesh to differentiate from the swarmers (one of cetana's fleet ship models).

As a result of some of the changes made to menacing ship templates, this mod should only be used on a fresh file. Adding or removing this mod on an in-progress save file is likely to result in some instability.
