a combo of AI and ship, IIRC.

but upgrading the AI is partiallly source code work, and partially just bloody hard.

How can you combine the ai.tbl and the ships.tbl?

Yes, I know, just what modification in the ships.tbl may affect the Ai? Do you mean increasing shields, hitpoints and the like?

I'm a noob. Wait, where do those 2127 posts come from

In editing the ai.tbl file, can  you add your own entries and assign ships to use them without messing anything up?

[aldo_14]

Yep.  Did it for Reci, actually.
