Airborne Engineers

AIRBORNE ENGINEERS VERSION 1.0
-----------------------------------------------
Hey! This is the third major release of my Airborne Engineer mod! What does it do? Something I feel that should have been done by GPG; add flavor to the types of engineers you have available to build.

So, what does this mod do exactly?

- Adds two Airborne Engineers to each faction. Each faction gets an T2 and an T3 Airborne Engineer.
- T2 Airborne Engineers are built from T2 & T3 Air Factories. 
- T3 Airborne Engineers are built from T3 Air Factories.
- Airborne Engineers can build all structures their land based equivalent can build.
- Airborne Engineers can reclaim and repair.
- Airborne Engineers can be set to patrol. While on patrol they will reclaim and repair automatically.
- Airborne Engineers fly like gunships and circle worksites.
- Airborne Engineers are formation friendly.
- Airborne Engineers have their own set of strategic icons.
- Airborne Engineers have their own set of build icons.

I tried to balance this mod as much as I can. The time they take and the resources they require to be built have been doubled from their land-based counterparts, as well as a 20% reduction in build speed. It is quite sturdy and fast, and thus is very suited for front-line building.

CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE
-----------------------------------------------
- Added Tech3 Airborne Engineer for Cybran.
- Added Tech3 Airborne Engineer for Aeon.
- Added Tech3 Airborne Engineer for UEF.
- Changed the strategic icon from bomber to gunship.

- Fixed an error with formations regarding T3 Airborne Engineers.
- Several minor balancing and tweaking changes.
