UFO and crew diversity v.1.4.1

This mod adds a large variety to gameplay due to the random generation of UFO and alien crew. Features is similar to inspired me original mod “Dynamic UFOs”, but closer to original gameplay, have more wide variations and alternative tweaks.
Also this mod fully supports two new UFO (Assaultlander and Dreadnought) from great mod "Furies, Terror, and Dreadnoughts Oh My".
