Summary0009505: Defiler
DescriptionThe first one came spontaneously from discussion of a zombie apocalypse-style AI. Doctorfrog suggested the alternative name of Defiler. But, Defilers don't seem like zombiemeisters. Defilers seem more like...
1: The AI highly prioritizes ships that debilitate other ships, such as armor rotters and anything that causes engine damage. The AI also loves Leech Starships, but does not necessarily go for other reclamation ships.
2: The AI has a reasonably higher chance of having planetary and interplanetary inhibitors on its planets.
3: The AI will contribute passive debuffers to its partner's waves, in addition to having waves of its own

The Seige Master has been made its own issue!

That was from the same thread as my sniper AI suggestions
http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,11473.msg117634.html#msg117634

To quote the relevant bits:
LaughingThesaurus: "Siege master: This AI only attacks with ships that have bonuses to heavy defenses, gets a global attack speed bonus, and starts with all bonus ships that qualify as bombers or heavy bombardment by default."
Keith.Lamothe: "An AI with Bombers + Zenith Bombards + Zenith Siege Engines + lots of Siege Starships in waves (like the Extreme Raider gets extra Raid Starships in its waves)"
Ricca: "Then there'll be the Technologist version of it, I assume?"

I support both of these, so can vote yes with no resevations, but these should really be separate issues.

Both of these sound like they should have beachheads enabled by default :P.

Issue split into two separate ones.

Defiler bonus ship types: Armor rotters, spiders, tackle drone launchers, (bombards?). This would have to be classified under the red "Super difficult" AI types I think...
