Default Re: Strawberry Vanilla MOD

Some easy fixes that IMHO will improve the strategic part of the game without loosing the Vanilla flavour:
- Make upgrading facilities more worthwile.
-- Research I/II/III could be 500/700/900 points
-- Resources I/II/III could be 800/1000/1200 units
-- Space Yards I/II/III could build with 2000/3000/4000
- If you do the increased output/buildrate thing, you could also increase cost for certain items. Making larger shipsizes (way) more expensive will keep the ships smaller for a longer time and make smaller ships a viable option later in the game.
- Add 2 more levels of Armor before Stealth and Scattering. This is a double fix, both making armor stronger and delaying those cloacked raiders a bit.
- Improve mid and late game fighters. An easy way would be to make Medium 20 KT and Large 30 KT.
- Get rid of the Quantum reactor.
- Solar Sails, especially II and III are too cheap. Put extra levels of Solar Collectors in between making them worthwile as an alternative to the QR.
- Increase base cost of PPB ( x 2 or x 4 )
