Stroud Premium Edition - Balanced

This patch adjusts most of the new ship parts to be closer to comparable vanilla values, making them fit more naturally into Starfield’s existing ship-building balance. The parts remain useful and premium, but no longer outclass the standard options quite as strongly.

Grav Drives, Reactors, Shields

-  Adds level and perk requirements and rebalances grav drives, reactors and shields so they remain high-end, but no longer outclass vanilla. Their key advantage is low mass.

- Removed M-Class-Parts, and the mentions of them in terminal entries.

Long explanation:

The grav drives, reactors and shields from Stroud Premium Edition originally had no level or perk requirements, which made them available from the very beginning of the game. On top of that, many of them were significantly stronger than comparable vanilla parts, often making them the obvious best choice as soon as they appeared in the ship builder.

This patch rebalances those parts so they still feel like premium Stroud-Eklund technology, but no longer completely outclass everything else. They are now positioned among the better options in their respective categories, without being the absolute best across the board.

Their main advantage is weight. The idea behind Stroud’s premium line is that these parts use advanced, lightweight materials to keep mass low in relation to their performance. This gives them a clear identity and makes them valuable for efficient ship designs, while still preserving meaningful choices between premium and vanilla components.

This patch also removes the M-Class parts.

- Nerfed the SAL-7000 and renamed it to SAL-6440

Long explanation:

The SAL 7000 Engine added by Stroud Premium Edition has been renamed to the SAL-6440 Engine and rebalanced to better fit into the existing Slayton Aerospace engine lineup.

In vanilla, the top-tier SAL-6830 Engine is locked behind the quest All That Money Can Buy, while the SAL-6330 Engine is the strongest regular SAL engine available through normal ship progression. The new SAL-6440 Engine is now positioned between those two: stronger than the SAL-6330, but still below the quest-locked SAL-6830.
