If you have specific questions, just ask them in here, a few of us are quite good at AI modding !
And there are a bunch who aren't AI modders, but know the basic system and remember the tricks.

What i want to know is how to make the AI make designs, build ships, research....., attack, move ships, etc...., basically everything the stock AI does and with some luck make it a bit more difficult.

We're the borg, lower your shields and surrender your ships, we will add your technological and biological distintiveness to our own your race will adapt to serve us, resistant is futile.

Not true... they just need specific questions to answer.

Well maybe its a missunderstanding, but he asked us to explain the entire AI modding basics, not a specific question...my mistake ?!?

We're happy to answer questions like "what does the spaces per one entry do, exactly?" or "how does the minimum/desired speed work" and so on.

As long as its specific enough that the answer will be only a paragraph or two, you'll get lots of response.
Nobody likes writing essays, though

Do some work on your own.
Look here, and here and there
Also search this forum for these topics:
"AI and the number of planets they colonize"
"AI Design"
"AI Text Files Tips & Hints"
"Modding Questions (especially need help for AI)"
"Modding Questions"
"My AI Design Q&A"
"Proportions AI without AI colony bug"
"Question re AI Modding"
"Some questions about modding and AI"
"AI Mood questions...... and its answer"
"AI Modding 101?"
Use strict search (use quotes) and read all you find.
Eax don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to get rid of you, but it would be nuch better if you learn the basics from the sources I pointed out. AI modding is too complex to explain it very fast.

Thus the goal of ModWorks, to gather the information in one location.
