Make Weaponsmithing Great Again

This mod makes the Edgewalkers tech repeatable twice and adds a level above Edge III to crit into. The second research will take 3 AI cores, the third will take 4 - so a total of 7 more cores are needed. Depending on your luck and if you used cores to research base defenses, you may need to import to a new game to find enough until the 4th quarter of the map is released.

Note that home made Edgewalker weapons don't get the Edge 10% bonus to cut damage, so Edge grade cut weapons will be weaker than equivalent store bought or found weapons. The Masterwork quality is between Edge 3 and Meitou (Edge 3 is 80, Meitou is 100, Masterwork is 90). With the 10% cut bonus, real Edge and Meitou weapons are equivalent to 88 for cut damage and Meitou is equivalent to 110. So for cut based weapons, Masterwork is slightly better than Edge 3 but significantly weaker than Meitou. For blunt weapons it's right in the middle between Edge III and Meitou.
