tbontob,

it only matters at all if you are going to have the AI or ministers controlling the empire.

If you're controlling the empire yourself then it will be fine.

As for people saying the empire will be mixed up if things don't match, they were talking about AI control. The only problem there is if you set an empire to use the AI that matches its ship set, and then change the empire charactersistics so its AI isn't well suited to its abilities. This is mainly a problem if the AI for the shipset is programmed to use racial technologies, but the new empire doesn't have the same racial traits.

In the case of the Piundon, they are set up to use the Aggressive AI rather than the Piundon AI, so they should be ok, Oleg. I just ran a test in 2.5.3.1 and they seemed to be doing fine using non-racial weapons.
