Summary0016102: Mega Claymores are weaker than normal Claymores or Claymores need a buff
DescriptionTested them again in Practice Combat(thanks for this again) the stats for "Mega" Claymores are lower than toes from normal Claymores(dmg and hp).

The in-game description:
"Giant, armored and slow, these are practicularly (practically) aimed at clearing masses of smaller ships. Their shots are pretty ineffective against things like flagships, however."

They are NOT good a clearing masses of smaller ships...
1.Tested 8 Claymores vs 120 Pirate Interceptor:
Claymores lost
2.Tested 8 Claymores vs 30 Pirate Interceptor:
Claymores lost...

For 2.014:

* The mega-claymore was previously very un-mega (not really being different from the normal claymore, and having lower stats in some circumstances), and not really performing its anti-figther role, so:
** Hull strength doubled
** Burst shot:
*** Shots per burst from 10 => ... rather more. Still bad at concentrating damage due to the spread (and individual shot damage hasn't been touched), but it's unlikely that a fighter will be able to get anywhere near without getting hit by _something_.
*** Now fires 4 times as often.
*** The shots themselves now fly 5 times as fast (the distance from the firing ship at which it bursts is still pretty much the same)
** Further feedback is welcome, it's possible the buffs are overzealous. But testing sure was fun!

Thanks :)
