Overloaded Ship Sections Mod

================================================================
OVERLOADED SHIP SECTIONS – Updated for Version 1.5
================================================================
Version: 1.5.*

Purpose:

This mod is designed to provide some additional ship sections
using existing ship classes. Inspired by other excellent
ship mods on the workshop, but done within the existing ship
framework provided by the game designers.

2017-04-09:
Made a number of modifications with the goal of adjusting the
balance of the various ship types. In general, there are
slightly less augment slots and more room to equip standard
shields/armor/power etc.

Removed the Auxiliary Cruiser – it’s purpose was to utilize
special aura augments however scripting limitations were
unable to be overcome.

Removed the strike carrier in order to be able to consolidate
and re-balance the battleship sections. it would have been made
redundant.

Status:

The AI will use these sections depending on if it is aggressive
or defensive in nature – once it has done all of the required
research.

Aggressive AI:
Dreadnought
Heavy Cruiser
Screen Destroyer
Attack Corvette
