T3 Mass Fabs: reduce death‑weapon blast radius

[NoryGit]

Description of the proposed changes

The blast radius of T3 mass fabs is 14, which is higher than that of T3 Pgens (10). This makes their explosion extremely deadly to gunships. Right now, players are forced to either avoid the blast radius (difficult) or micro the gunships around the mass fabs (often impractical). Their new blast radius is set to 8.

Poem

🐰 Hopping through blueprints with balance so keen,
Death Weapon radius—shrinking the scene!
From fourteen to eight, the numbers realign,
Four units now gleam with this tuning so fine,
This rabbit rejoices in gameplay delight! 🎮

Hello, it's nice to see a new contributor!
We have a workflow to discuss changes that are not strictly bugfixes. We have the community suggestions channel on our discord (https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/1090315187397087362) to propose changes and to have them discussed. This is especially important for balance-related changes. Once an agreement has been reached, the implementation can follow.

equal radius to T3 Pgen (10) seems to be the consensus on the thread.

[NoryGit]

Both 8 and 10 work for me, although 10 still kills T3 gunships (which doesn't seem to make much sense), while 8 fits the smaller size of mass fabs better. Maybe the balance team could take a look?
