So after searching diligently I couldn't find any information about what components I should add to my templates so that they work well for custom ship styles..

IE, if you use blank empty hulls for ship styles, the AI places the parts on stupidly, way too large all on one side or whatever... now putting on components gives it a base plan, but how many of each component should I put for each size of ship

The most important info would be how many engines, as other wise I can just fill the ship with defense and weapons and be mostly all right... obviously one should use the Cheat method to have all the tech so you can use the smallest components possible to fit as many things on for the AI to use as a baseline...

Any suggestions... Ive got about 15 ship styles made with blank hulls to RE-do...

I wish 1.7 would fix this ...somehow... maybe by giving each style a 'invisible components' option!



PS If your seeing this in warfare forum, My bad, I've moved it to modding... (dont know it got here to begin with) but its still showing here too.
