Economies of Scale Mod v1.1.0
This mod is inspired by an idea posted by Erax and expanded on by Suicide Junkie on the Shrapnel forums that he suggested to improve realism in SE4 and balance out smaller vs. larger ships. The idea was this: ship strength stays fairly linear in proportion to size, but cost increases as the square of the size, representing the infrastructure necessary to construct large vessels, while maintenance increases as the square root of the size.
Major update in v1.1.0: Build costs now increase with 1.5 power of the hull size, not the square, to keep large ships practical
