[PvK]

Major mods such as Proportions need AI's tailored for them. If you insert a TDM AI, it will malfunction (i.e. not perform very well, and perhaps even "cheat" in silly but generally unhelpful ways).

The pictures have nothing concrete to do with the AI except for AI's that cleverly try to tailor themselves to match the artwork, but that's an aesthetic issue.

So, you can take the AI from a race designed for a mod like Proportions, and overwrite the AI for a shipset whose AI is designed for unmodded, or for some other mod, and the result should work fine in Proportions - it'll behave like the AI you copied into it, but look like the new shipset.
