On balance I'm pretty convinced that the AI shouldn't be adjusted to add SDDs to colony ships. Handicap the pirates (who'll only ever be played by humans) if necessary, not the AIs.

Not handicapping the AI (and not forcing people to mod all the colony ship design files to include SDDs) was my reasoning for changing the colony component to include a built in SDD.
I agree it doesn't have a nice roleplay feel to it but I'd give up that small aspect for the simplicity of it.
