Thanks, guys, I got at least part of the problem: "Num Misc Abilities" is actually the number of ADDITIONAL abilities. Thus, the AI was adding engines because it put in four per the speed and then filled the remaining spaces with engines as Misc abilities. And yes, "speed" in this case is purely the number of engines. But with the engine mounts, this is moot.
Which also solves Path's Shadow Living CPU problem as well: the AI adds a LCPU as the required bridge component and then again as the misc ability "Master Computer" (I tested it, Path, and the Shadows use only one LCPU if you delete the Misc ability "Master Computer").
However, this doesn't resolve the issue of the AI not using armor. I read long ago in one of the threads that an "Armor Spaces Per One" setting of zero causes the AI to fill in all spaces with armor after completing its other requirments. Is this not true? I have tried adding armor as a misc ability and the AI will leave empty spaces before it will install armor. This kinda makes the great armor system of the game kinda redundent.
Anyone have any ideas?

Yes they are. Even on max tech, you can not have technologies that require a racial trait to be researched.

That isn't true in this mod for weapons tech - Max Tech gives everyone all the racial light weapons, medium, etc, but IS true for other stuff (like the LCPUs). Not sure where the weapons discrepancy crept in, but you are right and I shouldn't have doubted it!
