Decrease on time it takes to switch weapons

Once we have alot more weapons implemented this would be better but as of now the only weapons you can switch in between is the kinetics and the lazer bursts which takes 5 seconds. In the current state of how fast BC engagements go, 5 seconds is a long time and when you use penta to whittle down defences and you start to switch to kinetics, by then their emergency energizer has gotten them back (with exception of good constant bombardments of broadside unless they hit the boost sheilds) up and your kinetics are much less effective so you need to switch back to penta, 10 seconds wasted.
This upgrade will alow for a decrease of time from switching from 1 weapon to another
From 5s to 3s, should be medium-cheap cost probably 15 yellow 50 blue and 10 green
From 3s to 1s should be expensive with alot of extra green involved 50 yellow and 200 blue and 100 green
to make 5S 3S viable early on when you dont have alot of weps but 3S 1S when lots of weps are unlocked and more needs to be done

Just FYI you can keep shooting while the weapon is switching. With this in mind, just switch your guns 5 seconds before their shields collapse.
