Sins Limits

We have no idea why, but support has recently been bombarded by requests for the limits of various systems in the Iron Engine. Thus, I have taken the time to compile a list of as many as a I could within my breakfast and lunch timeframe. I will add more as requested as this is certainly not comprehensive. I hope it helps
