+changes: 
+  - tweak: "Rigs by default now have slowdown. Only affects ERT rigs."
+  - balance: "ERT rigs now use default slowdown value, so they are slower for balance reasons."
+  - balance: "HAPT rig armor values were bumped to military rig, plus it has 35 extra energy armor. HAPT rig is removed from rare loot spawn chance."
