Didn't we determine this change would keep any savegames from being upgradeable? Not saying it shouldn't be done, but that might be a big issue for some.

To keep compatibility with saves (which is of major importance IMO) you can do the following to make the armor AI friendly:

add redundant tech requirements to Armor III, so the AI think it is the best armor to use.

Instead of:

Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Armor
Tech Level Req 1 := 3

use this:

Number of Tech Req := 3
Tech Area Req 1 := Armor
Tech Level Req 1 := 3
Tech Area Req 2 := Armor
Tech Level Req 2 := 3
Tech Area Req 3 := Armor
Tech Level Req 3 := 3

The AI will then value this armor higher as any other, since it requires 9 tech levels. No moving of components would be needed.
