[WIP][Beta][MegaMod]Equal Terms 2.0++

[KingMob4313]

Less than a week, but I did cull the trade goods. They'll be out in the next version with the AWACS plane.

It should now work with the only downloadable version of openxcom, the nightly.

Coming soon:

Recon Craft

The X-com standard reconnaissance aircraft is a Boeing 707-320C refitted for both aerial UFO radar detection and video & optics based signature verification of UFO activities in earth airspace. While much of the radar system is from the US Air Force E-3 AWACS program, the visual IMINT and MASINT electro-optical instruments are repurposed from the RC-135S Cobra Ball project and originally designed to observe ballistic missile flights at long range. This gives X-com the capability to surveil alien activity in the air and on the ground from a safe distance.

This will be for the 2.0.040 release and will have this new craft, along with the new trade goods and maybe a few hidden things.

Newest version is getting smoke-tested by me currently.  Hoping a release on January 27th.

Please note that Version 2.040 will be the last version for base OpenXcom.  There might be small bug fixes and the like after that point, but any new feature development will be directed towards the following projects:

Equal Terms 2.5 For OpenXcom Extended (OXCE).  This will be the next iteration of the Equal Terms mod, taking full advantage of the OXCE toolset.  Don't put sniper rifles in the hands of soldiers who are horrible shots: you won't like the results.

Equal Terms 3.0 (Retaliation) - Adds a late game weapon tier only for the aliens: Particle Beam weaponry.  These weapons will have comparable damage to the laser weapons, but will ignore a majority of armor protection.
