Durasteel Armory

Description
The tiered progression in Starbound is of certain interest. By only allowing certain weapon types to be crafted at each early tier, the game forces new players to experiment with the different weapons, hopefully finding a style that suits them. By Tier 4, however, the craftable weapon types have been exhausted, returning to the Tier 1 pairs of broadsword/shortsword and assault rifle/revolver. I reasoned that Tier 4 is about the time when a player should be settling into a combat style, and that being forced to use a specific type of craftable weapon is counterproductive. As such, I have prepared Tier 4/Durasteel versions of the following weapons, to allow players more freedom in combat. As follows:

Hammer
Axe
Shotgun
Magnum
Spear
Dagger
Sniper Rifle
Machine Pistol

Additionally, a Durasteel Shield has been added and made craftable.

All weapons added(and the shield) are upgradeable at a Weapon Upgrade Anvil, with modified graphics for the upgraded versions.

I have to agree with the individual below. tier 5 and 6 weapons are so drastically limited and if you are using RPG growth and are NOT using the Knight or Soldier class then you are pretty S O L with craftable weapons. Granted RPG Growth has it's own weapons added in that you can make but let's face it (if you've done anything with that mod) getting the materials to make the class specific weapon and the specialization weapons... is a PAIN in the ass. And finding the random weapon stuff from the containers is just as annoying because 9/10 you will be finding lesser equipment or stuff that you will never be using. I've made a character and am running the Ninja class in RPG growth and the ONLY reason it's a pain in the tail is because there is not a wide range of one handed craftable melee weapons that are within ANY range of being good.

But yeah we need more than just tier 4 gear we need tier 5 and 6 gear as well.

why only durasteel tier? Why not tier 5? or tier 6? they are limited as well and i would love to have some option and variety to my crafting cause vanilla starbound weapon crafting options at end game, horrifically suck ass, and I hate having to hunt down that weapon that is just right for me out of an infinitely sized RNG pool.

Thanks for this mod, really helps even out late game weaponry with some simple options.
