Missile Rover rebalence

Gives the Missile Rover +50% city attack and removes the incremental increases its upgrades get. Note: I am not refering to the city attack bonuses you can choose. Just the innate ones.

The Missile Rover line spends about 40% of it's time being obsolete. The level where missile rovers upgrade is 2 after the ranger line. When the are at the same tier then rangers are better at killing units and siege units are better for cities. During the two levels where rangers are ahead, they are better at both and siege units have no role. So by my math, rangers have 140% usefulness and siege has 60%. This is why many don't build them until they can hover or if they need orbitals shot down.
The missile rover line gets a combined 50% bonus to city attack in innate bonuses for it's upgrades. This mod moves that 50% to base missile rover unit at the beginning rather than spread over the three upgrades. This way when the tiers are uneven, which is 40% of the time, the siege units won't be totally outclassed by the other ranged unit. They'll slightly edge out the more advanced unit in attack power against cities, but when you take into account the need to set up and the later tier unit having higher base strength to help with defense they still might not be the best unit for the job. However they should be good enough for you to build them in the first place and not feel like they're taking up space and energy that could be used by a different ranged unit.

What I would like is to have the innate city attack bonus apply to defense against city strikes too, to make it more capable of a long siege but no less vulnerable to unit counter attacks. But that isn't possible as it is now.

IMPORTANT NOTE! There is a bug in the game where any mod that alters promotions (like this one) will disrupt the unit interface. To fix this, load this mod (and any others you want), then return to the main menu and then load up the mods again.
