Default AI design question

Is there a possibility to make the AI include more than two weapons in their designs?
If not (as I believe), wouldn't this be something MM should change in a future patch?

Yes and No. In the unmodded game the AI can use only two weapons (+point-defense).

If you talking about modded components, you can add a bogus ability to a weapon and use this to add the weapon to the design. I have done this in the Devnullmod for the monsters. They carry up to 4 or 5 different weapons on their designs and for example use the tractor/ripper/repulsor combo (rather make that tentacle/bite/spit-out ).

I think it has been requested to be able to use more weapons for the AI, but it can't hurt to do it again.

Again thank you Rollo for your answer.
That's a good idea, but I will run out of nonsense abilities when I make this for all weapons.
So I hope MM will introduce in the future the possibility of more weapons (tertiarty and so on) or to let use call not only for abilities but for specific components in the design file (I would prefer this solution).
