Less Point Defenses!

Description
Are you tired of your inventory getting flooded with point defense lasers and chainguns? Are you tired of getting excited for a legendary turret drop, only to find out that it's an anti-fighter turret? Well, I've got excellent news for you, my friend. After installing this mod, point defense chainguns and lasers are 1/4 as likely to drop, and anti-fighter turrets are 1/8 as likely to drop (relative to the previous ratio of drops), and you will never see a legendary point defense or anti-fighter turret drop from an enemy.

!!!WARNING!!! This may break compatibility with other weapon mods, depending on if they modify the 'generate' and 'generateArmed' functions in SectorTurretGenerator.lua.

===
UPDATE (10/17/2020) - After doing some research, this should not cause any compatibility issues with the following mods:

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2224360054 (Box Corp. !A Box Full Of Weapons!)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2017677089 (Weapon Engineering)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2069352309 (Cruise Missile Launcher)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2070272331 (Capital class weapons)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2022264107 (Salvage and mining laser range improvement)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2069249020 (High-Velocity Cannon Turret)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2026578608 (Mega Mining Turret)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1832726822 (<Mod>Mega-Particle Beam Weapons)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023834896 (Plasmacannon turret)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2127387501 (Tweaked Turret Tweaks For Cy)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1821043731 (High Efficiency Turrets)*
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1793763687 (No Independent Targeting Penalty)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1816511488 (All Turrets Independent)

This should also be compatible with all ars ex weapons (Vauss, Spreadfire, Helix, Fusion Cannon, etc.)

* - If you use this mod with HET, you may get some legendary PDCs / PDLs / Anti-Fighter turrets as drops. This is because I disabled LPD's turret generation functions in favor of HET's. You will be much less likely to see Legendary Point Defense weapons, however, just because they are less likely to drop in general.

It may cause compatibility problems with the following mods:

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2009602662 (Strip Mining Laser)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2052158037 (Strip Miners & High-Tech Salvage Lasers)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2051437096 (High-Tech Salvage Lasers)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2185548883 (Freaky's R-Utility Laser)

That said there are a bunch of new weapon mods floating around that this is compatible with, so I should probably update the description. Thanks for the reminder!

Nope! It works fine as is, minus the conflicts mentioned above.

Looking at the last date this mod was updated - Aug 1, 2021 - I see that this was before Avorion 2.0 was officially released (which happened that September). Indeed, the original Beta version was only just barely released a couple days earlier.

So... I suppose it goes without saying that this would need updating to work with the latest (2.3) version?

It's almost shocking to see how much this mod changes things. Its a big help when it comes to arming your fleet from drops.

Checked a couple of extra mods (No independent targeting penalty / all turrets independent) and added them to the list of mods that are compatible with this one.

If you're running this mod and a mod that is not mentioned on the list above, please let me know if you run into problems. I will check to see if there is a compatibility issue.

Will this work with your currently installed weapon mods? Maybe. I did some research earlier today and posted a list of mods this might break (the 2nd section of the list) if your mod is installed and it is not on either list, a good rule of thumb is:

- Does this mod add salvaging or mining lasers? Or something similar to force turrets?

If the answer to this question is yes, you may run into problems. Otherwise, you should be in the clear.
