Not much weight is given to the weighting, the AI has a fetish for ship unlocks for instance, it does work though.
What kind of values you'd need to get the bastards to do an ability before a ship, I don't know, but set something to 10 and they get it done pretty fast
Thanks, I didn't really want to mess around with it if others had already tried and didn't see any results.
It probably doesn't matter a whole lot with the resource cheets the Harder AI's get but I wouldn't mind leading it especially for the easier AI's.
