Reduce power draw on Azimuth Gauss

[DemiserofD]

Azimuth Gauss is universally considered to be a downgrade compared to normal Gauss. It's got shorter range and it's harder to keep on target, without any real upside.

Idea: Reduce the power draw on it by maybe 50%. This will make it a viable option for certain niche builds that are heavily power-limited!

To be clear, just the POWER PLANT power, not the DISTRIBUTOR power. Distributor power is fine, but they're real energy hogs; combined with the experimental weapon expanders, this should allow some niche builds to be more viable!

My variant suggestion for the Azimuth Gauss has always been just to remove Rapid Fire and let it be purely High Capacity!

From Thargoid War feedback: One-year edition:

Gauss: The Azimuth version of the Gauss cannon is a useless module; the Rapid Fire addition, which acts more akin to an Imperial Hammer, is to its detriment. It would be much better if Azimuth produced a Gauss variant which has only High Capacity, and is identical to an unmodified Gauss in every other way.

Then it would just be flat upgrade, and Gauss is already quite good. The reason I suggest this is because it makes it more of a side-grade.

Considering, how you have to pay materials for each, a flat upgrade is fine. A little boring, but fine.
