CHANGES 1.7 TO 1.8

GENERAL:
 - Added a new section: "After The End", which contains an optional, extremely long final mission
 - Re-organization of the abilities section. It is now split into two parts: A list of generic
   abilities, as before, and an "augmentation path" section containing different abilities split
   into cybernetic, psionic, and genetic categories.
 - Further reduced the width of the LQ export by another 70px (1850px -> 1780px).
   Despite this, the font is now slightly larger than before, which should aid readability.
 - Style, balancing, spelling, grammar, and text consistency fixes. Most importantly, the
   capitalization of certain keywords was all over the place -- it's mostly consistent now.

SPECIAL SECTION:
 - Changed the Armor special to Gear special; it now affects weapons as well
 - Re-used the old Super Soldier image for the Gear special
 - Changed the You special with respect to the new augmentation path page

RACES SECTION:
 - Changed Asari, Gray and Aquiod boni, they now grant cost reductions in one augmentation path each
 - Turians now get Mental Fortitude for free, in addition to their existing boni. Changed their free
   weapon bonus to exclude restricted weapons.

BOONS SECTION:
 - The Typhon Hybrid boon now confers an increased lifespan
 - Changed the Moddable boon with respect to the new augmentation path page

ABILITIES SECTION:
 - Reduced the price of Beloved, Beautiful and Diplomatic to 1 point each

ARMOR SECTION
 - Created a new restricted armor trait "Exponential Replicator" as a replacement for the Psi Amp,
   which has been moved to the augmentation path section.

WEAPONS SECTION:
 - Added 4 new SMG-type weapons
 - The most powerful weapon of each category is now Gear-restricted

SHIP SECTION:
 - Orbital Bombardment Weaponry can now be equipped on medium-size ships

 - Added explicit requirement annotations for Iris and Eve

EVENTS SECTION:
 - Adapted all events with respect to the abilities overhaul
 - Rat in a Trap is no longer mandatory
 - Clarified the fate of Alex and the station in Apex in all endings
 - Reduced the cost of the Grand Herald restoration from 80 to 50 points; slightly reduced the bonus
   you get from selling your ship
 - Greatly nerfed the bonus provided by Synergy in Rat in a Trap, as it was theoretically possible
   to get the best event outcome through the points unlocked by that ability alone

UNIQUE REWARDS SECTION:
 - Most unique rewards now have an associated points score in order to reduce the text needed in
   some events

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGES 1.6 TO 1.7

GENERAL:
 - Removed the Neuromods section, as it always was something of a second Abilities section. Merged
   some Neuromod effects into existing Abilities. Removed all references to Neuromods from the
   other sections.

   changes, and the font is now slightly smaller.

TEAM SECTION:
 - Removed Sten since he did not fit the lore well and was the least popular companion choice
 - Added 4 new companions: Tomak, Fenris, Alris, and James Horrigan
 - Changed Yonera's backstory, she now shares one with Alris
 - For the aforementioned layout reason, I've changed the order in which the companions are listed.
   They're now sorted by price first instead of race first. The Team section is now split into
   three pages instead of two, with the third page listing only the restricted companions using
   extended panes in order to fit their long descriptions.

EVENTS SECTION:
 - Added 3 new Inter-Events, these grant you powerful boni if you were successful in the main Events

   image for the new Inter-Event #2

   in Utulek"

 - Lore change: "Gods and Masters" now takes place in Elven space, instead of Aquoid
 - Instead of two non-heavy weapons, you may now take only one sidearm, or Frost, into
   "Stranger in Utulek" in order to have that event focus more on your (un-)natural Abilities
 - Waiting for your ship instead of breaking out by yourself now carries a 30 VP penalty in "Rat in
   a Trap"
