Admiral Fleet Limit Cap:
- For those who played Horst, we are implementing a similar system to their Naval Fleet Cap
- For those who aren't aware, Horst has a mechanic that limits the size of a fleet an admiral can command at one time. Each ship in the fleet has a certain value, and if you exceed that value under an admiral your fleet will lose damage. This is intended to help prevent death stacking of fleets, and hopefully means that you won't lose your entire fleet if you look away for one second since both your and the enemy fleet will not be your full fleet.
- Add a new player decision to show the Navy Pop-Up

- Naval Module Research once again has a year to research it, and is not all a 1936 tech. This was felt to be a reasonable change to help encourage more refitting, and with the change to cap fleets you have the ability to have a older and newer fleet without refitting, so you would get crushed by the deathstack due to having some older ships
- Naval Admiral Cap Checks Weekly before war starts, and then Daily after Germany, the UK, or the US are at war.


General Changes:
- SCREEN_RATIO_FOR_FULL_SCREENING_FOR_CAPITALS 4 -> 3 -- this screen ratio to num capital/carriers is needed for full screening beyond screen line
- BASE_NAVAL_EQUIPMENT_CONVERSION_IC_COST_FACTOR = 0.2 -> 0.1 -- Fraction of the hull industry cost which is always included in the refitting cost
- BASE_CARRIER_SORTIE_EFFICIENCY = 0.75 -> 0.5 -- factor of planes that can sortie by default from a carrier
- HIGHER_SHIP_RATIO_POSITIONING_PENALTY_FACTOR = 0.35 -> 0.4 -- if one side has more ships than the other that side will get this penalty for each +100% ship ratio it has
- BASE_JOIN_COMBAT_HOURS = 8 -> 24 -- the taskforces that wants to join existing combats will wait for at least this amount
- MAX_POSITIONING_PENALTY_FROM_HIGHER_SHIP_RATIO = 0.75 -> 0.8 -- maximum penalty to get from larger fleets
- DAMAGE_PENALTY_ON_MINIMUM_POSITIONING = 0.6 -> 0.75 -- damage penalty at 0% positioning
- MAX_POSITIONING_PENALTY_FOR_NEWLY_JOINED_SHIPS = 0.25 -> 0.50 -- the accumulated penalty from new ships will be clamped to this value
- POSITIONING_PENALTY_HOURLY_DECAY_FOR_NEWLY_JOINED_SHIPS = 0.05 -> 0.02 -- the accumulated penalty from new ships will decay hourly by this value
- Bonus from Capital Screening for Sortie Effeciency 10 -> 30%

Fortress Update:
- "So the fortress change is coming in the next patch, these are forts that are pretty much unbombable, and take little damage from combat. Going to be used to represent historical major fortifications. Right now it's just the Maginot and Atlantic Wall but will also be used for other stuff in the future. Not buildable except for Japan if they are losing the Pacific War to represent their cave fortifications like they had on Iwo Jima for example."
