[REQ] Assign Weapon groups to AI commands.

[FrAvatar]

How hard would it be to make a mod to tell AI ships,  for example:  Gun groups 1 and 2 are for attack enemies,  Gun group 3 is for mining, gun group 4 is for salvaging gun group 5 is for repairing.  That way I wouldn't need to change the turret loadouts every time my ship changes jobs on the fly.  Also it would allow me to use miners/salvagers that can defend themselves with their own guns, but not try to use the wrong guns for the job.  Right now if I have a ship with a few combat guns as well as mining and salvaging, then he tries to use all the guns regardless of their intended use.  Shooting cannons when trying to mine is just a waste. 

 

Alternatively,  a way to have different weapon loadout presets, swappable with the press of a button.    but I'd rather have a static general loadout with an AI that understands how to use weapon groups.

Don't know how to realize that.

Didn't find a script for ai-attacks. The function is called with "ai:setAttack(target)". U'll find that in many scripts that set the ai to do something, where "target" can be a asteroid, a wreckage or a enemy ship
