Bio-Psych Mod v1.15

*Changed Death Beam Array to Global Death Ray
*Changed to use Image Modpack (Componetsv16, Facilitiesv9)

--------------------------------------------

Bio-Psych Mod v1.1
*Added Death Ray-Security Stations only-"kills all lifeforms"
*In order to make Death Ray useful I added "Boarding Defense" ability of 1 to all of these components:

Colony modules
Bridge
Crew Quarter
Evolved Crew
Auxiliary Control
Doomship Module
Space Commissar
Fanatical Command (already had boarding defense)
Boarding Parties
Security Station (already had boarding defense)
Plasma Charge
Hyper-Plasma Bolt
Electric Discharge
Lightning Ray
Seeking Parasite
Acid Globule 
Enveloping Acid Globule
Suicide Assault
Religious Talisman

*This has the effect of making ships (especially organic ships) somewhat more resistant to boarding parties.
*Added Death Beam Array-Population Only ranged, direct fire weapon. 
*Added War Morale Center facility-gives minor system wide bonuses to combat and damage
*Added Propaganda Center facility-gives minor system wide bonuses to min, org, rad, intel, and research generation

---------------------------------------------

Bio-Psych Mod v1.01
*Fixed clerical errors.
*Increased supply usage and decreased damage resistance of Suicide Assault.
*Increased mineral cost of Evolved Crew.

Bio-Psych Mod v1.0

The purpose of this mod is to bring some flavor to the Psychology and Biology tech areas by adding some useful combat options in each. In addition, I never liked how adding ECM or Combat Sensors affected a whole stack of troops. Instead I added command units that can affect a whole troop stack.

Added Techs

*Bio-Morphic Science (5 levels, requires Biology 1, Construction 1, Advanced Military Science 1)

*Political Indoctrination (3 levels, requires Psychology 1)

*Advanced Political Indoctrination (3 levels, requires Psychology 2, Political Indoctrination 3)


*Experimental Psychology (3 levels, requires Psychology 1)

*Ground Combat Doctrine (3 levels, requires Military Science 1, Troops 2)

Changes

Based off of SEIV Gold 1.84

Removed Small Combat Sensors and Small ECM from Troops list. Can still be taken by fighters. The Command components will replace these for troops. Several of the new Troop components are intended to fill a 30kt fram or fill 15kt as a single piece that gives bonuses, and contains  a cockpit. The command modules are not offensive, but since they are 15kt, you could put them in a large troop and add weapons or armor.

Added component pics for new troop components.
