# Description
This PR fully replaces the "Tier 3 Tech Lockout" with a research
softcap. How it works is that technologies are allowed to set a softcap
contribution, meaning that they multiplicatively increase the cost of
all other research by a certain amount. By default, this is done by all
Tier 3 Technologies. Essentially, this means that you're no longer
limited to a single research category's tier 3 selections. Instead the
costs of research increase the more capstones you unlock. The current
cost increase for research is displayed on the console.

# Changelog
🆑
- remove: Removed the "Tier 3 Tech Lockout" mechanic. You are no longer
limited to 1 discipline worth of t3 research.
- add: Research is now "Softcapped" by Tier 3 unlocks. Each unlocked
Tier 3 technology multiplicatively increases the cost of all other
research. Rushing a capstone can be quite expensive, as will be getting
multiple capstones. I hope you're glad that you can build more than one
prober now without guaranteeing the station will explode.

> ## About the PR
> <!-- What did you change in this PR? -->
> Changes ninja gloves to steal a flat rate of techs instead of wiping
all of them.
> Additionally adjusts the objective to require 1 to 2 steals to reach
the target amount.
>
> ## Why / Balance
> <!-- Why was it changed? Link any discussions or issues here. Please
discuss how this would affect game balance. -->
> Ninja's stealing research was previously an extremely trivial and
annoying objective. For them, you can pretty easily break into the
server room and wait out the 20 second doafter. It's not super hard and
you're not exactly shooting off warning signs. At this very low cost,
science loses literally an hour+ of progress.
>
> This nerf changes it to only remove 4-8 random technologies, or only
about 20k to 40k points worth. This is still pretty crippling but not
awful. On top of that, they need to do it twice to hit the target
amounts of 9 to 12 techs stolen. This provides counterplay by actually
giving science a chance to see that all their research has vanished
before the ninja is already gone. It also makes it significantly harder
for ninja to obliterate everything science has done.
