Star Wars Weapons + Energy Shields, vanilla components, rebalanced

***Unfortunately I no longer have time to tweak or update any of my SE mods; in fact I'm on a complete SE break. As always, 100% of my work is totally free to share/change/republish, any other author whose content is inside my mods should be consulted separately. Hope the community is still enjoying the game and modders can benefit from my dodgy work!***

This is a combination and tweak of two other mods:Razortron's ridiculously good Star Wars Weapons mod, and Cython's equally amazing Energy Shields mod; Links to the originals are as follows:

This mod contains a heavily cut-down number of Razortron's weapons, with rebalanced (nerfed) effectiveness values (e.g. damage, fire rate, range) based on a sketchy formula which makes them feel (to me) more like they look in the movies. Their build and ammo costs are also set according to a formula, so the damage output per second is normalised against the materials required. This version uses entirely vanilla materials.

There are also a few custom "vanilla" weapons: the small ship turrets can be mounted on large grids (1x1x1 block, slower fire rate vs the normal large block 3x3x3 ones,) the interior turret can be mounted on small grids (same as large block version otherwise,) and there's a large ship gatling (5x dmg and cost of the standard gatling, custom ammo.)

Similarly Cython's energy shields have also had their components costs adjusted. IMO they balance the lasers well when configured as listed below. Also I tweaked the HUD display commands: "/shields on" will display the shield strength from a control seat, "/shields off" will remove the display.

Energy Shields configuration:
Grid Shield Max HP Recharge Power
Large Large 400k 20 10
Large Small 50k 20 20
Small Large 10k 4 2
Small Small 1250 4 4
Point & Rechard Multipliers: 0.125, Power Multiplier 0.0675
Deformation 0.5x, Bullet 1.5x, Explosion 0.75x

I must stress all the beam weapons are the work of Razortron - getting all the sounds must have been a mountain of work so massive thanks again. I mainly tweaked component requirements and ammo costs, balanced damage output/fire rate/turret rotation speed etc, and redid the icons vanilla-style.
