Combat Balancing - Game Balance Improvements

This badly needed balancing mod fixes many major flaws which can be considered rather game breaking: - Technological Progression creates weaker (or not much better) ships rather than stronger ones! - With this mod Its fixed, now you get nice and shiny stronger ships with a noticeable difference with a nice overall balance.

From now on: - All Equipment, All Weapons, All Shiptypes and Section, everything that is related to combat has been reworked. - Weapons are much more expensive now and make up for a lot of th
