Starbase weapon distribution

* AI ship designs will now take advantage of increased available space due to miniaturization or modding
I made a mod with bigger starbases. At the start of the game the starbase at my home planet had the weapons in the top 2 slots and first on the right maxed to 19, and the second slot on the right had some higher number to use up all of the space; the other 4 slots had the default number of weapons.

If I had made any of the regular ships larger, this would have been an OK result. Starbases should probably go around to each weapon sequentially increasing the number by 1 until none of the 8 weapon slots can be increased further (reached 19 or total ship space - you would have to keep checking until all 8 failed in a row because adding 1 to a heavy mount may put you over the max ship size but other regular or light mounts might sitll be able to be increased a few more times).

Just a thought.

It's a good idea if you equip them with regular/heavy weapons or if you just want them spread out.
