Stronger Planets mod idea

[Emperor's Child]

I have just put together a set of planet-based missiles to beef up the wep platforms based on much of the feedback from the group. Thanks to SkiGrinder, Q, geoschmo and PVK for your inputs.

To use these, you need to change the current component file's capital missile vehicle type as follows. (Remember to do it for all 6 tech levels!):

Change "Ship\Base\Sat\WepPlat" to "Ship\Base\Sat"

This will prevent the AI from putting in low-end missiles in his wep platforms.

Next, add in the following beefed up wep platform based missiles to the file:
