Directed Energy Weapons - Semi-obsolete

With WeaponCore becoming widespread, this version of the DEWs is effectively obsolete.

While the weapons still function, the laser script they use does not work properly if used alongside WC. I have converted the DEWs to WC as a separate version, found HERE. This version is provided for compatibility purposes; I will not be making any additions or changes, except to fix critical errors

Introducing the Directed Energy Weapons collection, the latest in destructive technologies!

Adds 13 new true laser weapons for several roles. All weapons require no ammo, and are instead powered directly by grid energy.

Anti-fighter and point-defense turrets, for frying missiles and shooting down those pesky drones before they get too close. Available for both large and small grid.

Light pulse-laser turrets, in 1, 2, and 3-barrel configurations. More barrels means more boom!

Heavy pulse-laser turrets, like the light versions, but better, because they make explosions happen.

Fixed-mount, constant-fire versions of both light and heavy lasers, for when you want that personal touch. Available for both grid sizes.

An ultra-heavy fixed-mount laser of doom, for when you want that ship/station/asteroid/whatever to just stop being there.

Turret types have certain specializations and weaknesses: anti-fighter and point-defense turrets excel at shooting down missiles, players, and small fighters, but lack the damage output to be effective against large ships. Vice versa, the light and heavy pulse turrets are devastating to large, slow ships and stations, but traverse slowly and can be evaded by fighters. Choosing the correct turret for the role is important for an effective loadout.

Massive thanks to Meridius_IX / Lucas for making the script that makes these weapons possible!

As always, constructive feedback is always welcome, especially regarding balance.
