Laser Booster OXP by Thargoid.

This is a small OXP introducing two new dynamics to play. Firstly it offers a switchable laser booster, which doubles the laser damage inflicted when activated (for a small energy drain).

However it also introduces breakable lasers - there is a base 1% chance of a laser breaking on use, with increased chance if the booster is brought into play and the lasers pushed beyond their specified heat tolerances.

If lasers do break they can be repaired either at the station equipment screen or by repair bots/systems.

It requires Oolite version 1.77 or above to work.

If the any of the following OXP's are installed, they need to be at the indicated version number or newer in order to work:
- Ship Storage Helper v0.39
- Laser Mount Switching System v2.7
- Laser Arrangement v1.4
- Vimana-X HUD v1.23
