Rebalanced autocannons. They're more powerful, but also more expensive.

Changes:

Hitpoints: 360 -> 560 ↑
Beauty: -20 -> -70 ↓
Power consumption: 160 -> 400 ↓
Building cost: 300 steel -> 500 steel ↓
Construction skill level requirement: 6 -> 8 ↓

Accuracy Touch: 0.70 -> 0.30 ↓
Accuracy Short: 0.60 -> 0.70 ↑
Accuracy Medium: 0.50 -> 0.85 ↑
Accuracy Long: 0.40 -> 0.94 ↑

Burst cooldown: 3.5s -> 2.5s ↑
Base damage: 34 -> 60 ↑
Projectile speed: 88 -> 90 ↑
Ranged weapon cooldown: 1.00 -> 0.80 (unused?) ↑
Ticks between burst shots: 19 -> 16 ↑
Burst shot count: 3 -> 2 ↓

There you have it. With some buffs and some debuffs it feels much more like a capable end-game defense. A few of these will be extremely expensive, but will be able to help with even a medium mechanoid invasion.

A single one can now kill one centipede and deal reasonable damage to another before getting blown up. Maintenance costs were not changed.

Feedback is appreciated.

Shameless self-promo, but this seems like it'll benefit from Turret Extensions' extended framework to make the autocannons have a higher per-tile accuracy than 96% if you so want. You might find it useful.

Gave it a quick look and didn't find documentation on how to implement it, is there any?

I should probably make it more clear in desc. Do note that the section on upgrading is for a version that hasn't been released yet, which I just chose to write in advance.

Inacio,
and before you await more feedback you should provide a non-steam download link once 1.0 is released.
Currently 1.0 unstable is only availble on steam, so it doesn't matter at moment.
