No More Spacer & Drop Pod Raids

A quality of life mod that removes the "spacer" items on spawned in pirates, outlanders, and some royalty. As well as remove drop pods.

Q: How does it work?
A: All pawns when spawned in go through a Def that determines what category of equipment they can possess in battle, what this mod does is change that def so it only selects industrial weapons found in IRL, as well as increasing the tech level of most spacer weapons and dropping the pirates tech level to industrial. Weapons and armour that have been removed are Shield belts, Turtle shields, powered armour (non royalty), triple rocket launchers, doomsday launchers, and laser weapons. As for Drop pods this mod, removes the option for Rimworld to select drop pods as a means of entry for other factions (except mechanoids which are hard coded)

Q: Can I use drop pods?
A: yes, it only affects factions, not colonies.

Q: Are all these not craftable or removed?
A: No, all that I did was make it incredibly rare for the items to spawn on any spawned unit (excluding royal), and you can craft them.

Q: Any changes to the equipment?
A: Yes, I changed the shield belt to have 0 health and 0 recharge so by chance it does spawn its basically useless.

Q: How do I get some of these myself?
A: Most of them have been made artifacts or exotic so they can still be found with some traders, quests, and some royalty, also god mode.. but we don't talk about that...

Q: Do royalty still have their abilities and kit?
A: Yes, although because of the kit cost increase they will most likely have less stuff.

Q: If I download x mod can I still find good enemy weaponry?
A: Yes, but now due to the price decrease the good kit found on enemies will only be on more of the more elite types (depending on the mod).

Q: Does this work with modded factions?
A: No, but the process is fairly simple, find and get the pawnDefs and copy it into this mod, next get the apparel types in this mod and input them into the desired factions apparel Defs. I also do intend to add more factions as time goes on, and if you request it and its not a complete pain in the butt I'll probs add it
