- changed size progression: the variants now get comparatively smaller faster on bigger hulls in comparison to the standard shields
- changed hyper shield cost: cost progression got reduced since the cost on big ships more or less prohibited their use.

finally fixed some weird error in the monsters and added the newer ones of 5X UCP

added the xii shields to the first miniaturisation

[changed] Hyper Shield XII was same size for all hulls which was a bit silly - slightly lessened size reduction for the higher tier Hyper Shields so it doesn't go down all the way to sizeHullFactor 1.0 (still goes down to 1.25 at class XII - which makes them about as big as standard class XII shields on a doom star overall but, you know, slightly more expensive and powerful).

[fixed] Dense Shields XII was missing its icon.

[fixed] the class xii shield variants were missing the research holograms: now using the same ones as 5X uses

Changed the cost of the shield variant root node to 0.
I copied it from another node and thought it didn't matter since you get the node for free.
It's actually used to select the shield for the ship blueprint update function of the game ...
The more you know... :o)

had to increase scout hull size from 40 to 55 so when the game puts the Hyper Shield I in it there's still enough space to add drives...

changed the path for the icons so they become visible

renamed all instances of "Hardened Shields" to "Dense Shields" so there is no confusion with the "Hard Shields" special
renamed the Racial Perk to "Advanced Shield Modification"

added the shield variants to miniaturization for shields

makes the list for those fields a bit long i guess but it's the best i can do
