📋 About This Mod
The Infernals DLC broke this mod, but I'm currently having problems updating my mods. But a fix is available here: steam://openurl/https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3618485673. Many thanks to 66% trustworthy for helping out. This mod aims to guide the AI empires to design its ship designs more effectively and adds a few ship sections I felt were lacking.

After researching Battleships technology AI will favor using P slots on all smaller ship sizes. AI that prefers energy or kinetic weapons will favor M slots over S slots until it researches Autocannons or Plasma Throwers technology. Then it will start preferring S slots. AI that prefers explosive weapons will favor M slots over S slots if it has swarmers that are of the same tech tier or higer than its regular missiles. AI that prefers strike craft will favor M slots over S slots if it has Whirlwind Missiles technology. AI that prefers energy or kinetic weapons will favor L slots over M slots if it has researched Kinetic Battery technology and is producing Volatile Motes. AI that prefers explosive weapons or strike craft will never fa
