A quick destroyer tweak?

First off, the destroyer fix from Crucible was welcome to see, and has gone a long way to make the class viable. Since the Catalyst is a Gallente ship, and pretty explicitly a blaster platform, the 50% optimal bonus on the hull for being a destroyer seems rather misplaced. This should probably be swapped for a 50% falloff bonus to better match the ship's intended weapon systems.

I'm in two minds on this, but maybe the same switch should be applied to the Thrasher too. That seems to be primarily an autocannon platform and again, benefits little from the optimal bonus, and switching both would give some variety to the destroyer range without creating a strange odd-man-out (two sniper hulls, two short ranged damage hulls).

I may be mistaken about the proportion of people fitting artillery racks on their thrashers, though.
