AVCR - Test Branch

This is a test branch. Things may or may not be working correctly. Updates may happen randomly. You have been warned!

This will, undoubtedly, cause issues with quite a few mods. I'm looking for workarounds, but component_templates are a First Come, First Served type of file and Vanilla comes first. Have to overwrite the entire file to make changes.


Things done:
-Overhauled component templates to current standards: changed ship_size and ship_type limiting to potential checks.
-Overwrites to Vanilla component files to allow NPCs to use new items. Bonus, similar items stack and reduce clutter.
-Updated Reactor Boosters to be a percent based bonus, as vanilla versions are.
-Corrected computer limiting arguments. No more questions about Gestalt Empires banning AI!
-Added Starbase computers to gestalt empires.
-Corrected vanilla issue with Torpedo computer upgrades: Torpedo Basic was set to upgrade to Swarm Advanced.
-Corrected Technology weights and modifiers.
-Added overwrites to allow upgrade chains for Space Fauna additions. Bonus, similar items stack and reduce clutter.
-Updated inline_scripts to correct costs for Space Fauna components. No more Minerals for Amoebas!
-Corrected Space Fauna computer ai_tags to follow Vanilla.

Still more to do, but should be stable enough to get a feel for what I may have missed thus far.

Things to do:
-Check why Corvette and Platform computers stop upgrading past Advanced for gestalt empires. Vanilla issue: upgrade path points to Sapient, Gestalt use Autonomous. Unsure how to resolve issue as inline_scripts are hit or miss in component templates.
-Finish localization file text.
