Extra Quality of Life Tweaks
Description
Changes several basegame features for more Quality of Life. These are changes we subjectively enjoy on my server.
There will be more changes to come, including some re-balancing or changes in how stats generate on certain items.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them in the discussions!

Changes:
- Static founding cost of 500 Iron for all ships, regardless of number created.
- Mining/Salvage beams have 3x range along with higher possible values for efficiency and damage. All three scale up with tech level and rarity.
- Shipyard build-time reduced by about 10x and increases slower with more ship HP.
Note: The time displayed with the Adv Shipyard mod will be incorrect until you press build, correct time will show in chat as normal, this is only a cosmetic issue. - Cargo systems now always have a % and flat cargo buff together. Scales with rarity.
- Hull Polarizer can roll above 30%, scales with rarity. Damage debuff is lower and generates based on the hull buff % and rarity. Energy usage increased to balance for these buffs.
- Hyperspace Booster can roll up to 65% faster cooldown, based on rarity. It also no longer increases the cooldown duration when rolling with "MegaReach" at higher rarities.
