With in the basic game, no mods, how much can you really 'program' single ships' AI ?

Mods have no capacity whatsoever to alter the strategy system. They can tweak the default strategy settings, but no more or less than you can do on your own in stock.

I almost always use PD Ships in a fleet. I usually arm them with a few capital ship class weapons, then stock up on PDC's. They fire and act like any other warship, but also act as a screener against missiles and fighters.
