AI ID - adjustment proposal

[HassLHoFF™]

As the current AI ID is still an advanced Freelancer ID by it's mechanics. I thought once again in improving it in a way that makes sense and balancing it that it won't become a terrorist ID.

Code:

The current ID is:

Can attack any ship in self-defense or in defense of another AI ship.
Can attack any ship in systems that do not contain a jumpgate.
Cannot attack transports and freighters, except in self-defense.
Cannot use any transports with more than 3,600 cargo.
Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.

Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, AI Cruiser

In comparison to this I add the former AI ID that had been used until 2012/2013.

Code:

The former ID (2012) was:

Can attack any ship in self-defense or in defense of another AI ship.
Can attack any ship in systems that do not contain a jumpgate.
Cannot use any transports with more than 4,200 cargo.
Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.

Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, AI Cruiser

Except a balancing thought behind, I totally can't understand the exception of transports in a realistic way. Referring to the denominator most people agree with, that the AI strongly relies much in gathering resources I think there is a place for improvement. Keeping in mind that, the a ship itself can be seen as a carrier of resources my suggestion is quite easy.

Code:

ID suggestion is:

Can attack any ship in self-defense or in defense of another AI ship.
Can attack any ship that is a gunboat or higher class in systems that do not contain a jumpgate.
Can attack any ship that is a transport above 3,600 cargo in systems that do not contain a jumpgate.
Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.

Allowed ships: Sentinel class (AI Drone), Harvester class (AI Cruiser)

Defining the excepted vessels as non-effective in containing resource and non-dangerous in class, basically allows to act and play AI in a realistic way without being unbalanced resulting into a terrorist ID. In addition, the ship usage should be limited to the AI ships only. Another factor could be added in the allowance of demanding metal/ metal ore commodities and scrap/premium scrap.
