v9. 0. 0. 6, 29 Jun 2026:

- Bug-fix: Avoid (i.e. take risk or not) behaviour of ships on escort only triggered when they initiate an attack. They now evaluate whether they should take the risk before initiating an attack as intended. E.g. Carriers were not avoiding/staying away from high-risk targets of their fleet because they needed to initiate an attack first. But sometimes, based on their base-game behaviours, they don't initiate an attack order except when attacked. In this version, they should stay away from high-risk targets when their fleet initiates an attack.

- New feature: Deactivating the mod from the Settings > Extensions menu deactivates the mod's scripts and zeroes its data. More information is in the "Uninstall" section.

- Note: Read the "Uninstall" section for important information on deactivating the mod and creating "clean" saves.

Notes about this mod and my ideas behind it:

============================================

1. This read-me is for my portion (Attack AI Tweaks) of this combined mod. DeadAir's read me is linked at the top of this read-me.

2. Stations are for delaying attackers until reinforcements arrive. They're not ship destroyers - unless only a few ships or small ships attack them. No changes to station behaviours are in this mod.

3. Survivability is the reason behind the changes to the ship behaviours: avoid high-risk enemies, attack slowly, withdraw when necessary.

4. Re: Skill adjustments to behaviours: Low-ranked pilots are impulsive and overly-confident. High-ranked pilots are careful and patient.

5. There are no actions that are random in the mod (in all my mods, actually). The only actions that are random are the ship's avoidance direction (clockwise/counter-clockwise) and angle a
