Description
I think ship equipment mods are a tiny bit overpowered without RNG (oh I really don't like that randomness).
Some say players try to roll EQ mod stats until 80% of them are within 20% of best possible outcome, like in Pareto principle (80/20 rule) (not proved by any empirical evidence).
Therefore, all equipment mod stats are reduced by circa 20% of 'min-max range' of vanilla modifiers. This is NOT reduction by 20% of modifiers absolute bonus.
This approach tries to simulate very good possible RNG outcomes.
Also, improving modifier values of 'pairs of pointless mods' (Stabber - Slasher, Executioner - Slayer, Gregale - Mistral, Okhotsk - Benguela).
Also, increasing number of consumables given by Chassis mods (drones, missles, countermeasures, deployables). Now they feel more useful.
Other values, like number of, and probability of bonus modifiers, remain unchanged.
Installation

What are the changes?
# 1. Removed RNG from modifier values.
There still is RNG when rolling which bonus stats are applied, their vanilla chances are also unchanged.
# 2. Nerf of 20%
Let's take Stabber and Slasher mods.
Stabber:
- []vanilla damage main effect: min = +35% max = +45%
-
[]damage main effect 'min-max range' = 45% - 35% = 10%
[
]20% of 'min-max range' = 10% 0. 2 = 2%[
]Reduced damage main effect = 45% - 2% = +43% --- a little (20%) worse than best vanilla outcome
-
[]vanilla cooling bonus modifier: min = -31. 6% max = -26. 4%
