An alternative version of Designable Strike Craft.

This version uses the strike craft top slot instead of a core component slot for spawning designable strike craft.

Using the strike craft slot eliminates the need for additional ship sizes & sections. The light strike cruiser, strike carrier, light strike platform, and strike command-ship (second juggernaut) have been removed accordingly. The combined components are also gone.

This should be friendlier to other mod creators who want to submod patch the functionality of this mod into theirs.

to those modders – for best results you should adapt the event script to your specific requirements. you of course have my permission to modify and use the various parts of either this mod or the original designable strike craft.
Maybe just give me some credit somewhere.

this version does not use the default country file.

some additional warnings for all users – It is likely this is not fully functional; AI generated designs might not work well if they happen to pick duplicate squadrons in multiple point defense slots.

Distinct differences in this version –

– Pay attention to component descriptions. If you place more than one of the same mixed wing component on the same ship, you will only get one wing from that squadron. for best results, pick a different squadron per slot.

– This version uses buffs/debuffs to balance weapons that are used on the mod strike craft. The good things that result from this method are that any weapon can be used on a mod strike craft and the damage will be scaled down. That makes it pretty compatible by default with most weapon mods. The bad thing is it is a little harder to figure out what the actual damage is until the strike craft is spawned in combat.
