Craft Drones MKx

Makes the Albion Skunk into a small carrier!
Adds recipes for crafting Xenon enhanced drones (MKx).
The goal was to have drones that do not die instantly.

Details:
Based on a mod (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=372324877) from Gtadam, I added crafting recipes for 3 new, stronger drones. the drones can only be used by your ship. The needed components are (or should be) rather rare.

Stats:
Intrepid MKx: 50k hull, 4 plasma repeater mk2, 38k shield
Overrun MKx: 50k hull, 4 guided missile launcher, 38k shield
Beholder MKx 5x speed, 5x strafe

Recipes:
*Intrepid MKx: 1 advanced drone ai, 1 advanced drone frame, 1 advanced drone core, 100 smallarms
*Overrun MKx: 1 advanced drone ai, 1 advanced drone frame, 1 advanced drone core, 100 smallarms
*Beholder MKx: 1 advanced drone ai, 1 advanced drone frame, 1 advanced drone core, 100 cartography units
*advanced drone ai: 1 security decryption system, 1 terran hightechgoods, 10 unidentified artifacts, 100 cartographyunits
*advanced drone frame: 1 metalalloys, 25 jumpdrivecomponents, 200 teladianiumpanelling
*advanced drone core: 250 enginecomponents, 75 plutoniumdioxide, 25 radioactivewaste, 150 weaponinterfacechips

Version:
*0.6 added beholder mkx
*0.54 removed some debug messages
*0.53 moved missile launchers farther apart (does not affect existing drones)
*0.52 reduced plutoniumdioxode to 75

Known issues:
*Amount of ingredients may be messed up by other mods

Mod Incompatibilities:
*Others mods may change the amount of ingredients and vice versa

X:RB Version
*working for 3.53
*should work with all other versions of the game as well

Savegame compatible:
*Yes

Future work:
*Balancing drones and recipes.
*I may add more drone types (shield drone mkx) and change the weapons of the existing drones (miniguns and astrobee launcher).
*Add languages


Feedback (especially for the balancing) and bugreports are welcome.
