Default Re: Forcing the AI to do ships with 3 weapon famil

Add higher tech level requirements (dummy levels) to the PDC that the AI should prefer. And establish a hierachy or pick order for the AI by adding redundant tech levels.

Wasn't this my entire suggestion from the beginning?

You are indeed right, but the problem is editing all weapons to include the dummy abilites you mentioned is already a majorpain in the arse, imagine ~20+ different point-defense weapons, all which have 10 components/levels. In addition it becomes very hard to design a douzen AI designcreation.txts with all those weird abilites name which you wont remember. If we could just create new tags/abilitres, such like "Brakiri PD- Tag".
It would make work so friggin much easier..
Why are their 20 PDC available to all races??? If it is race specific, shouldn't it require a racial trait? This solves the problem very cleanly...
