AI tags can not be used for mount selection. If the mount is available and it can be used on the component, it will be used. Mount selection is ability-agnostic.

Instead, you have to add a bunch of AI-only mounts that are copies of the regular mounts, but are arranged so that they are last in file for particular ship sizes (or ranges of sizes).
In my mount mod, I added all the standard mounts last so by default the AI uses these. However, it would be easy to mod it rather than use ability tags, my bad, you can require a tech area specific to that mount and that race. That'd set them up to use that mount. For instance, Pulse mount technology. Have a race research that and they'd use that mount instead of the default. All you need is a few of the races using various mounts and you have tons of weapons variety out there.
