* Further Parasite/Leech rebalance:
          o The Parasites now have a further 10x added to their attack power, but now always have an 8-second recharge time rather than one that diminishes with their mark level. Their bonus against medium hulls has thus been cut from 6 to 3.
          o The MicroParasite attack recharge has been put back to 2s instead of 8, and now has an attack power of 8000 instead of 800. Their health has also been doubled.
          o The Leech Starship has had their attack buffed a further 40x, giving them a pretty sizble DPS. Their number of shots has been further reduced from 4x to 1x, helping to make them a lot more likely to convert enemy ships.
          o The overall goal is to make Parasites rather slow-firing so that they are not converting everything in sight, but with a high enough DPS that they have a reasonable chance of success in mixed fleets, or with allies, or on their own (in order from least to most successful, there). These changes are a start, at least, and we'll see how these feel.
          o Thanks to Draco18s for reporting.

If you read down some more :)

Yeah, and i'm sure the leech starship had 400*40 attacks before.
Thus if the leech starship had its attack power boosted by 40 times then it should now be 16000. Along with a quarter of the attacks it had before, so 10.
16000*10.

It currently has 120,000 Per hit now. Something went pear-shaped yeah :D
