Tanksy's Lights

This mod tweaks Exterior Lights and Exterior Headlights to be less of a vulnerability:

Now matches vanilla armor tile stats:
- 4000 HP
- 3.0 Mass
- 7 Penetration Resist
- 50% AOE Damage Resist
- 100% Explosion Absorption
- 1 EMP Resist

- Costs 7 Steel, 1 Coil.
(Vanilla cost 4 Steel, 1 Coil)

In Vanilla, Exterior lights/headlights had the same health and defensive values as a corridor - but were a solid, impassable tile. Because of their rigidity, they were only really used within armor pieces and other parts of the ship where crew movement wasn't a concern - But due to their weak stats; it was undesirable to place these lights amongst the ship's armor as they would then present a weak-spot.

So - to promote styling the f**k out of your ships without sacrificing defence, This mod gives them the exact same defensive stats as a 1x1 armor tile, and increases their resource cost to match. (1x1 Armor costs 8 Steel, these cost 7 Steel and 1 Coil)


If I create any mods to vanilla armor, I will likely make an alternate version of this mod to be in line with those changes. I am also open to making compatibility versions for other mods, at the user's request.
