Quantum Reactor

I have the following problem:
I want to remove the quantum reactor from the stock game and all mods i have installed. Or even better I want to make it extremly expensive and tonnage-consuming(about 1000kt) so that you can only use them to build massive supply ships.

For the first solution, where do i have remove the tech and do i have to remove it from the ai files or will the ai just ignore it in their behaviour if it just isn't there anymore?

Go into Components.txt and delete the reactor itself. I don't think this will truly screw the AI, aside from their relative incompetence in matters of supply without the QR.

For the second solution, the question is almost the same: if it is too expensive, will the ai stop using it, or will it mess up it's designs?

If the QR exists, the AI will use it, no matter the cost. That could bankrupt the AI, who will eventually put QRs on every ship design -- whereas a human will make a design that carries a repair bay or two, the QR, and related fleet-wide-benefit components ... and stick in one per fleet that needs endless supplies.
