Introduced or updated the <MarketValue> stat for various weapons in Flame, Gauss, Laser, Plasma, and Pulse weapon definition XML files. This standardizes and balances the market values for these weapons.
Corrected XML encoding declarations and ensured proper closing tags and newlines in multiple weapon and damage definition files. This improves XML validity and consistency across the project.
Adjusted damage and armor penetration values for energy bullets to better balance weapon effectiveness. Increased cooldowns and warmup times for various gauss weapons to slow their rate of fire. Added a missing HeldDrawOffset comp to the Plasma Defender and reorganized unique plasma weapon section for clarity.
Adjusted damage and armor penetration values for energy weapon projectiles to improve balance. Added a new 2mm EC Gauss bullet definition and updated all Gauss weapons to use this new projectile. Removed defaultArmorPenetration from energy damage defs. Tweaked plasma weapon draw offsets and removed an unused equipped angle offset.
Added <useHitPoints>false</useHitPoints>, <DeteriorationRate>0</DeteriorationRate>, and <Flammability>0</Flammability> to unique energy weapons in Flame, Gauss, Laser, and Plasma weapon XMLs to prevent them from deteriorating or being destroyed by fire. Also added a missing <MarketValue> to the Laser Pistol. This improves the durability and reliability of rare and prototype energy weapons.
Introduced new XML definition files for flame, gauss, and laser energy weapons, including standard and unique variants. Also renamed WeaponDefs_Energy.xml to WeaponDefs_Plasma.xml to better reflect its contents.
