Default \"Kitchen Sink\" Cannon

Ok. Assume first that the following things can be done:

1) Weapons that require supplies will stop firing when supplies are depleted. (bugfix)
2) A quantum reactor & any "Unlimited supply" effect only refills you between battles. (so even bases need enough supply storage to Last one battle )

Now you can build the
Kitchen Sink Cannon
The KSC will:
- have a range of 1
- have a reload of ZERO
- Target ALL
- Be Point Defence.
Note: this can be multiplied to speed up gameplay.
- Use up 1 supplies per shot
- Do 1 damage per shot.

So, when all your other defences have been breached, you can throw your chairs, videogames, garbage, even the kitchen sink out into the path of an oncoming enemy.

You can fire the KSC an unlimited number of times in one turn --> throw as much stuff out as you want.
The problem is that most ships will have 2000 supplies (or less after movement & gunfire) So you can only do 2000 damage, at range 1, and then you become dead in the water.
This is a Last-ditch weapon: if firing the cannon did not win the battle, you are dead.
