Default AI using MCs

How do I get the AI to use master computers instead of regular C&C comps on its designs? Is the fact that MCs in my mod have a large size and use scale mounts to be variable in size for ships of different sizes a problem?

Probably. The AI generally uses master computers as soon as they become available regardless of size or cost - at least with the traditional master computers. Try sizing them down and see what happens...

They are small enough already... sizing them down won't happen.

Usage of Cloak Level ability on MCs is lethal for AI. Tested. Reason: only Aaron knows.

As in, the AI doesn't know what to do with such ships, or the AI can not use such components? I can always add an AI racial trait if necessary... ugh...

Looks like a conflict between Master Computer and Cloak Level abilities. AI just won't use MC instead of piles of B/LS/CQ, although it should.

I removed Cloak Level from Autonomous Construct and AI use it without problems.

PS: nice cake (ex-pie)!

edit: it turned out, that it was a cake, not a pie. confusing.

Oh i guess i know why, because B/L/C components are put first, before the calling for abilites begin. sry
