Change Lights plugin to generalised equipment plugin for things like engines and powercores #160

Would be great for Vanilla servers because upgrades are working well image

Not sure if this means that the plugin also works for Equipment and this is a plugin rename request, or it doesn't work for Equipment and we want it to.

Personally I think we should make this plugin work for equipment (and rename some commands), as this does give the server operator more flexibility.

I would like a better explanation of what this issue is / what is desired

Most mods like Disco coming with power and shield upgrade slots along with mountabe/dismountable engines, scanners. But there is no availability for vanilla servers and vanilla lovers to use these features. Thats why all playing Eagle with nomad guns and tizona. With this plug there is a way to return all other ships into the game :D image image

It would be not too difficult to generalize it (basically have the config list possible options for each hardpoint type), would have to add extra checking to make sure its valid (no sunslayers on c1 gun slots for example) . Though I would maintain the base configuration should only support lights since as you get into other hardpoint types such as power plants and engines those actually effects the balance of the ship and people have to modify the ini files to account for such a thing.
