Eh, I was going to try and explain how I understand it worked... but I havent done a lot of editing for a long time and now I've noticed that the build lists for the ai in my version are blank! But when I play the game it works just fine? I'm confused... I thought I knew how this worked, but now I'm more puzzled than ever........

Step by step:

1. Open the AI file (*)
2. Copy any line (**)
3. Replace 'fed_akiraZ' with 'fed_myship'.

* = C:Program FilesActivisionStar Trek Armada II Fleet Operations 3.0DataAIAIPs
** = For example; "fed_akiraZ", 2,0, -1,  0,

As for the numbers; the first is how many to build, the second is the base to build at (0 = main base, ect), the third is the max number to build (for replacing lost ships) and the final has something to do with the 'tech level'.

I think he understands that, but even I don't understand what exactly the numbers mean.  http://www.starbase34.net/artificialintelligenceandyou  This place may help.
