AI difference between P&N and TDM

What is the AI difference in these two mods? I really like the data file in P&N and would like to paste it into TDM but that means adjusting the races. Would this kill the TDM AI?

SJ has made an AI converter that will convert any AIs made for the normal game (and TDM AIs) to be compatible with P&N. It can be found somewhere on his web site:

Yes I have that converter but I was really wondering if converting the TDM races to play in P&N would corrupt their unique AI playing abilities- whatever they are.

No, it does not. It just changes them so that they will take the Normal race trait, and they will use the QNP system, instead of the normal 6 engines per (smaller) ship. I think there are a few other minor things it changes too. But, they will still act exactly the same in P&N as they do in TDM. All the converter does is make them compatible.

Okay, so how is the AI in the TDM mod different than in the regular game?

It is much tougher. TDM AIs offer a much greater challenge than the normal AIs do.
