Mod Squad Rules

in that order in the file, with the same family number, Armor I would be the "latest" component and the one that would appear when "only latest" is checked. It would also be the one the AI would use.

BUT, AIs will always choose Phased shields over normals, and for some types of components (any with ability amounts), they will choose the one with the highest value.

This does not mean they're the best: you could have:
Big Armor: 100 HP, size 50KT
MiniArmor: 10 HP, size 1KT

Humans would recognize that the miniarmor is 5x stronger than the big armor, but the AI will choose the higher number (100).
