Better Reactor Boosters
This mod moves the Reactor Boosters from auxiliary slot to being a required component (just like reactors, thrusters etc.) with different cost, upkeep and power values depending on the ship size. Also adds a dark matter variant of a reactor booster (unlockable after reseaching dark matter reactor and advanced reactor booster)
Reactor Boosters effects:
Tier 1 reactor booster is a starting technology and only increases power and daily shield regeneration for a small increased energy upkeep.
Tier 2 reactor booster unlocks with a tier 2 "improved reactor boosters" technology with it prerequisite being fusion reactor tech.
On top of it generating more power and daily shield regeneration than tier 1, it gives a small 10% shield nullification protection, so instead of loosing 100% of your shields inside of a pulsar system or space storm for example, you only lose 90% of your shields. Has a medium increase in ship energy upkeep.
Tier 3 reactor booster unlocks with a tier 3 "advanced reactor boosters" technology with it prerequisites being cold fusion reactor, improved reactor boosters and shield hardeners.
Generates a lot of power and daily shield regeneration, adds 25% protection from shield nulification and 20% shield hardening with increased ship energy upkeep
Tier 4 dark matter reactor booster unlocks with a tier 5 "dark matter reactor boosters" technology with it prerequisites being dark matter reactor and advanced reactor boosters.
Generates enough power to fit all of the most power hungry components from vanilla, adds high daily shield regeneration, 50% protection from shield nulification and 25% shield hardening with increased ship energy upkeep
All power, cost, upkeep, daily shield regeneration scales with each ship size. To put it simply: bigger ship – more power, cost, regen and upkeep. With platforms and ion cannons having less upkeep and cost per power generation, as well as full shield nullification protection and 50% shield hardening at tier 4 since they are stationary.

Will conflict with mods that change vanilla ship designs (corvettes-titans, their offspring and menacing variants). (Anything involving modifing 00_ship_sizes.txt)
If you have a visual bug with messed up required components try cleaning design it will fix it.
