[OBSOLETE] Better Laser Antenna

I really like the ingame concept of long-range laser communication, however I didn't find the lower range very realistic (a laser antenna emits in one direction only, so it should have higher range). There is another mod doing this, namely "pseudo infinite laser antenna" / linked below, but I didn't like that it set the antenna range way up high (which can cause slow downs as the game checks for line of sight).

That with the fact that laser antennas have some disadvantages (they need line of sight, they use more power...) I didn't use them very often (mostly, because the small ships antennas have a 5km range, so a small ship vanilla laser antenna with 20km range is an improvement)

For now, I set the ranges as follows :

Large Ship Laser Antenna: 2,500km (up from 50)
Small Ship Laser Antenna: 400km (up from 20)

Laser antennas still need line of sight (LoS). If you need a mod that removes the LoS, consider using the pseudo-infinite laser antenna "NoLOS" variant (links below).

Please let me know if this slows your game -- I'm considering lowering the ranges a bit (e.g. 250km for large ship laser antenna, and 100km for small ship).
