AI Ship Design Modder

[Zeno42]

Thanks much for the info. This tells me most of what I need to know to get started. I'll have to put together a parser for the CompEnhancement file and cross-reference the Component, TechArea, and AI_Research files with the ship design files, but a good portion of that work has already been completed for my other modders.

BTW, does anybody know if any of the recent patches have changed any of this (other than filling unused space after extra shields with armor)?? Does it still have the problem alluded to in these threads where large mounts and large weapons can prevent it from adding any components in the misc column??
