Installation guide revamp
Aim: make a new install guide for the two part version post 0.997. The old install guide is now out of date and potentially misleading. The video is also horribly out of date, and not exactly brilliant either.

TO DO

Text guide to fresh install (in progress)

Text guide to patch (in progress)

(get a working microphone, got too much static on the usual headset)

Video guide, full

Video guide, TL;DR edition

Equipment pages revamp Equipment
Aim: restructure equipment list for easy viewing. Add guides for how to achieve certain things.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

FINISHED TO BEGIN
 * jump equipment
 * engines, heatsinks, and other heat management
 * armour slot equipment
 * structure slot equipment
 * Gyros

Weapon tables rework Weapons
FINISHED IN PROGRESS
 * Mechlab ballistics (all done )
 * Mechlab lasers (all done)
 * Mechlab missiles (all done)
 * Mechlab support weapons (all done)
 * AS OF 0.996 patch 7

TO BEGIN Big horizontal table of doom. Can sort things for easier comparison and selecting right variant, but width is unwieldy, find way of sorting horizontally or collapsing sub categories can't change sorting or collapse horizontal, find out how to do diagonal text. Just shrink the header text instead slightly, still readable enough
 * Non mechlab ballistics
 * Non mechlab lasers
 * Non mechlab missiles
 * Non mechlab support weapons

Check for additional properties needed to represent.

Split first by ammo type consumed (big header), then by class of weapon (little header, so single shot autocannons in one table, multi shot in second, LB-Xs in another, and so on if more categories needed). Comparison of rotaries to standards is not useful. Slot pirate weapons in closest category (one shot, multi, lb-x). Going to deviate for missile slightly, split by category, then by ammo consumed if necessary. For support split into melee, non melee damage, non melee debuffers&other.

Remember to bake in range bonuses to min/max/optimal. Should already be, just double check they actually are.

Add mw-collapsed to table class tag when finished so it takes up less space initially Default collapse screws up because of the first column not being the only header column, revisit later after all info is in.

REMINDER: BLANK EQUALS - INFINITE WHEN SORTING
