- Blocked several Vanilla civics from the origin.

Cyberpunk Civic
- An online/consume society, but better technology, costs 2! civic points like Spectrals & Certus
=> cant be removed, non gestalt, must be some degree of materialist, multiple origins blocked

- Nomads have a now a new modifier after a fresh gamestart (as Savages) to have a slow ship repair.
Savages have also an edict to repair hull points.

WARNING: Balance for Sanakan-Cores is NOT done. The new mechanic to scale with the passed game years is a bit hard to predict, especially with other mods. Feedback is appreciated!
