Q for AI Gurus

[Suicide Junkie]

To clarify:
The multiple tech requirements are on the weapon components themselves:
PPB requires Phased weapons tech and Stream Weapons.
Phase Torpedoes require Phased weapons and torpedo weapons
The tech tree structure is unaffected, but teh component requirements are altered.

What I was trying to ask was wether the following would result in a nice spread of research projects:
Phased weapons -> level 5
Energy stream -> level 10

Where you get PPB Y when you have PW level Y and ES level 2Y


Re: upgrades
Will the AI upgrade whenever possible, perhaps replacing its mineral/700 with a monolith 500/500/500 just because it can?
