MOD: Space Empires V - Babylon 5

[Captain Kwok]

This is what the AI can do:

It can add to the 3 default slots, Armor, Outer Hull, and Inner Hull. The function that adds components to a design will only accept the three built-in long constants that correspond to these types. So that rules out specifying custom named slots.

The AI can only add items to a design in two ways. Spreading from the top or the bottom, which really means start from the first slot or start from the last slot.

Of course, with a modicum of effort I'm sure better script functions can be provided by Aaron to allow more specific placement, but it can't be done well enough now to make the AI competitive with a GGmod type leaky armor.
