Improved Enemy Ship AI

Changes in v1. 2

• []Updated the UC Vigilance's combat style. Bethesda had set it to be very passive and barely shoot at all. I suspect that this was to allow players who sided with the Crimson Fleet to complete the questline even if they had a weak ship.[/]

  []No more Mr. Nice UC Vigilance. It is now a terrifying opponent, befitting of its reputation. If you are going to side with the Crimson Fleet, you had better have a powerful ship, and don't turn in evidence to get Fleet captains thrown in prison. You will need their ships on your side during the final battle.[/]

  []I have tested the final battle with these changes. Now you actually have to stay far away from the Vigilance to avoid getting shredded in seconds. Focus on taking out the escorts first, then either use hit and run tactics or use long range weapons to snipe and finish off the Vigilance.[/]

  []Also updated settings for veteran ships from most factions; they are now allowed to turn while boosting, rather than just boosting in a straight line[/]

  Changes in v1. 1

  • []Fixed a bug (feature?) that might have caused ships to revert to default, non-specific combat templates[/]

    []Added power priority for some ships. Civilians prioritize engines and shields, spacers prioritize weapons[/]

    []Changed accuracy of homing missiles based on faction. It should be easier to dodge missiles from certain enemies, without using boost. It will of course depend on how far away and at what angle the missile was fired from. I have added short lore explanations in the description of each faction below.[/]

      Well-below average - spacers

  Below average - Crimson Fleet and Ecliptic

  Average - Freestar Collective and Varuun Zealots

  Above average - United Colonies

  Far above average - Starborn torpedoes

  This mod aims to improve the AI of all ship pilots, making them smarter and deadlier opponents, depending on their level of experience and which faction they belong to. The goal is to make winning a space battle be a little more about tactics and numbers, and a little less about having an overpowered ship that can crush everything in its path.

  In vanilla Starfield space combat, the enemy ship AI isn't the main source of difficulty. Any difficulty comes mostly from facing multiple ships at the same time, and you as the player changing the ship damage setting. Even on very hard damage, as
