Another little quirk I found with external mounts counting as armor, the AI will happily substitute them for armor early on in the game until it has researched chemistry and armor. I'm guessing it will eventually use the regular armors since they provide a better damage capactiy to weight ratio. Right now their ships pick a pretty heavy weight punch in the opening salvos though.
