### updated to 3.12.1 andromeda. please report any issues

---------------

This is a fleet and combat balance rework aiming to reduce the performance impact of the hundreds to thousands of ships that are present during the late game.

Engagements are intended to take longer, be more impactful, and involve less ships.

Expected consequences are increased difficulty of mid- and lategame crises, possibly other fights involving special ship sizes and loadouts.

Balance feedback is appreciated.

### changes

# combat balance
- all military ship classes and components have their cost, upkeep, navy cap usage, and build times tripled (colossus and juggernaut build times are only doubled)
- all military ship classes have twice as much base hull
- all ship components that provide hull, armor or shields provide twice as much
- all military ship classes deal 50-100% additional damage, inverse proportionally scaling with ship size

# ship classes
- juggernauts no longer have shipyard functionality. instead they are able to deploy corvette attack wings and have additional point defense weapon slots, as well as extra utility and auxiliary slots. they can also be grouped into fleets like regular ships.
