Merging AU8 into hulls by default

[Thyrzul]

If your complaint is about lesser armor upgrades being useless (which they are), here is a solution - I have talked to Cameron previously about making the AUs have a mass, so they affect ship maneuverability and handling. This way, some people will excell with the weaker AUs while others will do better with the heavier ones.

This over merging AUs into the hull.

Regarding newbie aid, I'd rather see an elaborate ingame help system for educating them (tutorial buoys are a start) before any gameplay changes that would not only affect them but all of us.
