Red Dog's Ecliptic AI Upgrade

My individual faction AI series has been deprecated. All future work and compatibility patches will on my Immersive AI Overhaul, which includes everything from my individual faction AI mods, plus more

edits for a much better and more comprehensive overhaul.

Ecliptic Mercenaries are professional soldiers. In real life the majority of mercenaries (aka Private Military Contractors), are combat veterans who formerly served in the military of a sovereign nation. As such, they would be better trained, and more experienced than your average Spacer, Pirate, or religious zealot terrorist.

The intent of this mod is to make the Ecliptic Mercenaries the experienced and skilled professional soldiers that the lore describes them as. It does not edit the forms for any of the Ecliptic NPCs, so it should be compatible with most other mods. It should also be compatible with most AI mods, as most of them don't edit the forms which I edited.

Assaulters will have better accuracy, more likely to use grenades if they have them, more likely to seek cover, and more likely to fire from cover. Chargers will be more likely to advance, flank, and be more dynamic in melee combat (ie sidestepping and dodging). Officers, heavies, and snipers will be more likely to hang back in cover, and provide support fire, as well as displace when advanced upon.
