[WOTC] Failsafe Hacking PCS

A really small simple mod to add a Hacking PCS into the game.
These are a bit rare but do show up in PCS Loot Drops and the Black Market.

As well as giving a boost to the users hacking score, they also come pre-loaded with my own version of Failsafe, which allows you to negate the drawback effects of a failed hack.

I'm honestly surprised the only "Hacking PCS" mod I could find on the workshop was an old vanilla one ...

• Costs for sale, default values: 15, 20, 25
  
• Loot Tables
  
• Boost Values, default ranges: 20-25, 25-35, 35-45
  
• If the PCS gives Failsafe, and associated usage costs of the perk.
  Default is set to the values in Proficiency Class Pack: 1AP, 1Turn Cooldown BUT 22 Hack Score Boost.
  
• You can choose if this mods Failsafe takes priority over LW or PCP Failsafe.

You may feel these the default values are off, but the rarity of these and the choice to use one over another PCS needs to be justified. I wanted a specialist with a Hack PCS to basically not fail hacks!

It's technically a new item so it should work with everything.
However I did use 'standard' PCS naming conventions which means it may or may not work with LWotC and/or LW2 Classes and Perks. I don't play with either of those, so didn't test it.

The PCS can be used by anyone that can use PCS' (PCSes ? Always confused on that).

Works with my Coloured PCS Icons
Includes RetroFit projects for Proving Ground Overhaul v2

The PCS stat boost table is linked to the CovertAction stat boost reward. It is highly possible it is the level 4 boost used. This mod adjusts that value and inadvertently causes an issue where the CA reward is insanely strong. I will aim to fix this when I have time. Feel free to adjust the config for stat gains of your preference.
Hopefully this issue is now resolved and the PCS hack values should no longer override/interfere with Covert Actions values.

Can you make a PCS for <insert: stat, ability, hopes, dreams>?
.... Yes, but unlikely to happen

Can you make a Psi Specific PCS? That works with classes that are not a PsiOperative ?
.... Yes, but see Cut-Content Psionics and/or Psionics Ex Machina

Vanilla version ?
.... Yes, umm ... see here ...

LWotC version ? RPGO version ?
.... like are you even thinking at this point :)

Many Thanks to ShireMct and Pavonis for the Failsafe perk base line.
