My vote was for "All the time".

Believe it or not TDM is a mod as well, just like P&N and others and not all people use it.

I don't view TDM as a mod, although technically it is. I see it as an AI patch for SE4. The fact that it doesn't conflict with what are commonly called mods, helps to make it stand apart.

I am less familiar with P&N and Devnull mod but I suspect that Pseudo-Newtonian propulsion alone will make TDM AI to choke.

As the author of P&N, I have used TDM AIs in every game since I installed them.

It is true that the TDM AIs will not work with P&N straight from the zip. However, it is very easy to combine them.
On the P&N download page, there is a link to my "AI Patcher 2". Simply run the patcher, browse to the AI folder, and press the button.
