Fixed Cutters Wrong Cannon Assignments

[Hylie Pistof]

The cutters I looked at had 6 pound cannons and 18 pound carronades. This is odd to me because I have seen some with 9 pound cannons and thought that is what they come with.

If you're not sure what cannons ships come with, check ships_init.c .

"ships_init.c" isn't sure what cannons are supposed to go on cutters.

   makeref(refShip,ShipsTypes[n]);
   n++;
   refShip.Name       = "Cutter1";
   refShip.All         = "Sloop1"
   refShip.id         = refShip.Name;
   refShip.SName       = "Cutter1N";
   refShip.Class       = 7;
   refShip.Walk       = "Cutter1";
   refShip.Cannon       = CANNON_TYPE_CARRONADE_LBS18;
   refShip.MaxCaliber     = 6;

But 18lb carronade is equivalent to calibre 9.

The same applies to "Cutter2".

Ah, well that would explain THAT weirdness!

Should be an easy fix. So should the max caliber be increased or the installed cannot type be decreased?

For balanced reasons, the installed cannon type should be decreased. Max caliber of 6.

Thanks. They'll get CANNON_TYPE_CARRONADE_LBS12 then.

This fix has now been made in my game files. Will be in the next update.
