Default Re: New PBW Proportions Mod game #4

Sorry guys, I got unexpectedly overwhelmed by non-gaming stuff, and am still deeply buried.

The AI still is confused by a some stuff after Proportions 3.0, though reportedly it sometimes does all right anyway. So the best Proportions AI experience would be with AI Campaigns mod (AIC) or Proportions version 2.5.3.1 (I'd include Xi Chung, Abbidon, the three nations in Oleg's Proportions AI pack, and maybe a random other couple).

3.0.7 I still need to balance-test and tweak the new fighters, which I don't have time for right now. I could post 3.0.6, which is just these changes:

Version 3.0.6:

--------------
New Additions:
--------------
* Added a new tech area for Q-Ships, which appear to be transports or starliners, but can be nearly fully-equipped warships, though they still maneuver like transports.
* Added probes, which are small low-tech drones, because any space-faring nation should be able to deploy simple robot spacecraft. They are inferior to drones, so one may wish to research Drones and not Probes, so they have their own tech area which requires Computers at level 1.
-----------------
Gameplay Changes:
-----------------
* Reduced crew and life support requirements for Large Transports from 3 to 2.
* Reduced mineral cost of regular Auxiliary Control from 500 to 100.
------
Fixes:
------
* Corrected supply use for Anti - Proton Beam X.
* Corrected (hopefully no-effect...) double "number or tech req" line in Anti - Proton Beam XI.
* Added double-tech-req entries to Point - Defense Cannons IV and V, to be consistent with earlier PD Cannons. (Note: This is an attempt to convince the AI to prefer these on ship designs.)
* Corrected categorization of Anti-Matter Reactor tech area as Applied Science. (7)
* One can no longer upgrade to Space Port + Supply Depot. This was happening to Resupply Bases, removing their benefits and sometimes to no good effect (such as when there was a Space Port City on the planet). (7)
---------
Cosmetic:
---------
* Corrected typo in crew quarters description.
* Adjusted descriptions of Computer Combat and Computer Defense.

((7) Thanks to Edward Kolis for reporting this!)
