EDIT:
-Stock AI does not invade planets with troops.
The AI will
use Master Computers if you just put the ability in the Misc. abilities list like any other ability you want the ship to have. The bug is that it will not
remove the standard ship control components when a Master Computer is added.
Fighters are far from useless, at least in my personal mod.
Give them good mini-shields and boost their weapon power a bit. They can be fairly powerful and can be massed in huge numbers since they don't pay maintenance. They do suffer if the game limit for units is set low.
Yes, seekers are pretty much toast if you are using a modded AI that uses more PDC and everyone has level V PDC. All of the possible solutions to make seekers more effective would either make them
too powerful early in the game or would make fighters near invincible as a side-effect. This is a serious balance problem.
