Reduce Capsule BlockHP

[MacThule]

Block HP of a capsule is 50, but wood is only 15HP and weighs thrice as much.

What are capsules made of???

Anyway - players have been filling ships with capsules as a super light-weight damage absorber. And who can blame them - those things are optimal filler, from a numbers perspective. Pretty sure it's not intended for capsules to have a better weight-to-HP ratio than most other non-armor blocks, particularly when mineral capsules are so plentiful.

No complicated solutions needed - just reduce capsule HP to 1, like all the flora blocks. Won't stop it, but it will reduce the value of dumping a million capsules into your hull by 49/50.

While we are at it we should talk about glass door... .05 for 400 making it 150 points better then basic armour. Brings a whole new meaning to the term glass cannon. It's also 3x less weight then plex door for the same hp and blast door is now also same weight as plex for twice the hp. Plex should be the same as standard and glass door should be 25 or something..?

I do feel like glass and doors need to be integrated with the new armor schema. The irregularity (excepting Advanced, Crystal, & Force Fields - which form a pretty consistent set) is disruptive and confusing at first.
