Warning: A small addition for those of you using P&N v2.
Before playing P&N v2.0 through v2.3
Extract the attached ZIP to your P&N modfolder (typically, "SE4\SuicideJunkieMods\Pirates&NomadsV
<Version#>"). It will place new ShipDesign files in Pictures\Races\<AI>, and you are finished.
For P&N games in progress
Apply the patch, and restart SE4. The patch is fully compatible with all savegames, and will not have any effect, except on future AI Baseship designs.
When running my AI Patcher:
Choose an "engine factor" of at least 45 to prevent illegal AI designs from causing deadly RangeCheckErrors in game.
Edit: In fact, 42 is the theoretical limit before the AI can design itself an RCE.
in theory...
If you get an RCE, and were using older AI files, you must either repatch the AIs from original copies, or use the attached file.
