Re: AI_DesignCreation File
No, I dont think the Secondary repeats. At least not in my tests so far.
Also, note that the early entry on the list of 'Must Have Ability 1' etc are filled before it goes to the 'Majority' and 'Secondary' etc. For 'Attack' ships this is Ability:Weapon, meaning that the primary weapon type will be 1 higher than you might expect from the 'Spaces per' parameter. It also explains why the AI designs have the 'Bridge, Life Support, Crew Quarter, 4 Engines (the minimum for design), a Weapon, and then 2 more Engines (to bring to 6...the 'desired' number). From there it seems to go the the Shields, Armor and then the Majority, Secondary and so on.
Hope it helps. It really tripped me up for a while there until I was able to test it on differing ship types (I inserted my own as a 'control' to see the differences and why).
