Pact Rework

Redistributed Pacts so they are now unique per faction instead of per race. E.g. TEC and HTS no longer have the exact same pacts.

• TEC Efficiency, Trade, Tactical, Munitions, Armor, Supply
• HTS Trade, Underworld, Siege, Munitions, Armor, Supply
• Ascended Research, Culture, Recovery, Antimatter, Weapons, Shield
• Orthodox Culture, Antimatter, Siege, Weapons, Strikecraft, Shield
• VCC Efficiency, Underworld, Resource, Jump, Tactical, Targeting
• VIR Trade, Recovery, Resource, Jump, Munitions, Targeting
• Reworked Relationship Requirements for most pacts.

Replaced the following Pacts

• Market Pact replaced with Underworld Pact. Now gives 15% Black Market cost, +20% to Bounty Placed and Collected, 1 to Pirate Strength.
• Mass Pact replaced by Recovery Pact. +20% Hull Regeneration, Planet Health Regeneration, and Population Growth.
• Energy Pact is now Weapons Pact. Gives +10% Damage to all weapons.
• Pulse Pact is now Munitions Pact. Gives +10% Rate of fire to all weapons.
• Thruster Pact is now Strikecraft Pact. Gives +1 fighter per squad.

Renamed the following Pacts to be more clear what they do.

• Armament Pact renamed Targeting Pact.

Rebalanced Resource Asteroid Yields

Less populated planets now have more resources.

• Tier 0 planets (Asteroid and Dwarf Planets) now have 4 resource asteroids.
• Most Tier 1 planets (Volcanic etc) now have 6 resource asteroids.
• Most Tier 2 planets (Ice etc) now have 4 resource asteroids.
• Neutral planet extractor Max Refinery Limit increased from 4 to 6.

New Units

Added Antistructure Bombers to TEC/Advent/Vasari. These are strikecraft with unique models that deal antimodule damage. They require antimodule cruiser or weapons research to build.
