Question on Weapons Creation

[Starhawk]

Hey all I just finished making two new weapons before I started wrighting Post#http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=306751&page=0&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 my story and I was wondering if the AI will actually use these weapons or if it will be stupid and stick to older inferior weapons?

The reason I made the two new guns
Frag Cannon
Imperial Laser

Is to make Space combat more interesting (imho) because while the Imperial Laser is very powerful (slightly less powerful then a WMG) It only fires once every two turns.
The Frag Cannon (also a powerful new weapon) Fires every turn but is a point blank weapon with a range of 4.

I was wondering if since they are level ups in both Energy Stream and Energy Pulse weapons will the AI build them or just build AP cannons?

(shameless plug read my story lol)

Seriously though oppinions?

I think there is a generic design file you have to change to get them to use it. (Ever wonder why all the computer designs are the same as every race.

Well where would I find it? because I really would like to see my new weapons on the enemy ships

Look for:
Majority Weapon Family Pick # := 34
And move the numbers as applicable.

Also head over to the research file, and get them to research the required tech.
