MODDING Help Needed

[Atrocities]

I need help in understanding how the Race_AI_DesignCreation file works.

Specifically how this entry works.

(example)
Misc Ability 1 Name := Extra Movement Generation
Misc Ability 1 Spaces Per One := 10000
Misc Ability 2 Name := Cloak Level
Misc Ability 2 Spaces Per One := 10000
Misc Ability 3 Name := Armor Regeneration
Misc Ability 3 Spaces Per One := 100

How do the bolded entries work exactly? How does the value (say 10000) effect how, how many, the AI will add of this component?

Fyron gave me an example, if the abilities value is 1000 then a ship would have to be 1000kt to have this ability added. This does not make sense to me as the AI adds these abilities to much smaller ships.

I suspect, and I could be horribly wrong, that the AI will add just ONE of these components if the value is equal to the ship size, however, if the ship size is larger than value then the AI will add another.
(Value = 1000, ship Kt = 500 - AI adds one component 0 to 1000 = 1 component)
(Value = 1000, ship Kt = 2000 - AI add two components. 0 to 2000 = 2)

Or two to one.

Now say the values are much lower.

Value = 50, Ship Kt = 500. how many of these components will the AI add? Ten?

Basically I just need the Value portion (in bold) explained to me clearly. Thanks.
