Realistic Small ship,armors, and weights

I am happy to say that with the thanks of ulfsark9 kicking me in the pants, this mod is no longer dead, and is now pink block free. i have lost a lot of subscribers do to both this bug and my lazyness in fixing it, and I hope that anyone left subcribed could spread the word of this fix. thank you.

Update V1.3
Fixed the steel plates are pink error blocks bug.
got rid of the smelter, as the assembler can now do its job.
Fixed the cubeblock.file named Bcubeblock from working on my other mod, may have caused a Problem.

Aluminum is a light armor block thats even lighter then the light armor and a bit tougher but just and a little more expensive, for when you want to build the lightist thing possable, injoy!

This mod fixes the weights for all Small armor block's in game making them more realistic, a half block now weighs half of a cube block,
It also rebalances the steel plate componate acordingly. it even adds a new tier 3 armor thats roughly 25% stronger then heavy armor, who dosent love depleted uranium?

Note: do to how the game registers a blocks weight, the amount of steel plates in a small block had to be ajusted.
to counter act the increase in componates needed the steel plates now only need 2 iron ingots for manufactering.
Large blocks now use Large steel plates (just the old steel plate) and are unafected by this mod,(same weight's and cost's) save for the stronger depleted uranium block.

Depending on the disign, your Small ship's could be up to 20% lighter, ship's with lots of angled armor will be drasticaly lighter while ships with nothing but solid blocks may actually be heavier.
finaly a real reason too use cornors and slopes thats just not cosmetic.

"My ship used to weigh in at a hefty 38,000 KG but with Better armours now it comes in at a cool 27,500KG. A 10,000 KG deferance! Thank's lancaster armour's!"

NOTE! the less weight your ships have the faster they will accelerate, and cornor.

Comparison Table:

Steel plate componant
old,amount of ingots needed 22
new amount 2
old volume 3
new volume 1
old mass 20KG
new mass 4KG

Large Steel plate coponant:
exactly the same as the old steel plate componant except for the volume being increased from 3 to 5 (it is 5X larger then a small steel plate) now needs 11 steel plates to make.

Future plans:
Add a depleted uranium armored thruster (credit to darthbiomtech for such an awsome mod)
change other large ship items such as refinerys to use Large Steel plates, so that they cost the same as stock.(DONE!)

Far Future plans.
Completely rebalance the game's coponates, scaleing them to backpack size and giving them realistic weights.

PLEASE RATE! who dosent like lighter armor?
