Sniper Gun Rebalancer
By Rustem and Norby

Overview
========

This OXP slightly reduced a weight of roles NPC-ships in the shipdata to 5 times lower(20% from basic), but will added ships with sniper gun from other ship's OXP as external dependency. Also it's setup the lower size of sniper guns, names of ships will not contain the words 'SG'.

Very little by way of new ships has been added to the game(system tech level, government type).

Required OXP's
==============
The following OXP's are listed as required:

- Sniper Gun (v1.3)

Recommended OXP's
=================
The following OXP's are listed as recommended, in that additional ships will become available if they are installed.

- Separated Lasers
	Separated laser mounts option will be added to the Sniper Guns.

- gsagostinho's Texture Packs
	Added a 5 ships: Asp Mark II(v1.2, 2 textures), Cobra Mark III(2 textures), Fer-de-Lance(v1.2, 1 texture).

- Griff's Retextures
        Added a 4 ships: Cobra Mark III(v1.04, 2 textures), GalCop Viper(v1.3.1, 1 ship), GalCop Viper Interceptor(v1.0.3, 1 ship).
        Some additional ships with multiply laser mounts: GalCop Viper Interceptor (links with condition script).
	
- wildShips's Shipset (v0.9.1)
        Added a 4 ships: Chatu, Duma(2 ships).
        Some additional ships with multiply laser mounts: tribal Duma, dog Duma, police Duma. Police Duma (links with condition script).

Summary Differents
==================

- Reduced a weight of roles NPC-ships in the shipdata to 5 times lower(20% from basic).
- Setup the lower size of sniper guns: "model_scale_factor = 0.75".
- Corrected weapons position for SGs.
- The names of ships will not contain the words 'SG'.
- Added a snipergun-ship, snipergun-heavy-ship and interceptor-sg, interceptor-heavy-sg roles.
- Added a ships with sniper gun from other ship OXPs as external dependency:
  * gsagostinho's Texture Packs(5 ships),
  * Griff's Retextures(4 ship - Cobra Mark III, Griff Viper, Griff Viper Interceptor),
  * Staer9's Shipset(1 ship - Iguana).
  * wildShips's Shipset(3 ships - Chatu, Duma(SG), Duma Fleet Hauler(HSG)).
  * Laser Cannons(7 ships).
- Added a density for Griff's Viper Alternative Model for minimal ship mass req.
- Fixed a ship mass by "model_scale_factor = 0.65" for Duma and set a "max_cargo = 125" for Duma Fleet Hauler.
- Adjusted a pitch and roll for Duma Fleet Hauler due to the mass of Heavy Sniper Guns.
- Simulated the EEU and NEU for police ships.
- Set condition_script for some uber-ships(has 'dog' word) and police-patrol.
- Updated a view positions for some ships.

Roles:
        //
        // POLICE & INTERCEPTOR & WINGMAN
        //
        // police : Light fighter craft without a witchdrive or particularly heavy weapons.
        // interceptor : A heavy fighter with a range of powerful equipment, only used in the highest TL systems.
        // wingman : This role is used to add escorts to other police ships.
        //
        // Creators of ships should avoid to assign both a police and interceptor role to the same ship.
        // It's better really not to use powerful ships as wingmen - use them as police instead.
        // Interceptors are generated in addition to police in high-tech systems, while wingman is used instead of escort for police ships with an escort's property.
        //
        // For oolite v1.82 - 1.86 used:
        //
        //  var role = "police";
        //  if (9+Math.random()*6 < system.info.techlevel)
        //  {
        //     role = "interceptor";
        //  }
        //
        //  var h = this._addGroup("interceptor",Math.floor(Math.random()*2)+Math.floor(Math.random()*2)+1+Math.ceil(system.info.techlevel/6),pos,2E3);
