 ==Description of AI Behavior==
-(What kinds of things was the AI supposed to do?)
+The primary purpose of the A.I. was to execute scripted orders.  This included navigation of Newtonian vessels using thruster groups, turret based and hard mounted weapon combat, shield usage and hyperspace navigation.  All of which dynamically reacted to the properties and current damage status of the ship.

 ===Notable Behaviors===
-(What really special things did the AI have to perform that made it stand out?)
+The autopilot, and remote link, ability of the ships.  The ability of the A.I. to attempt to fly/maintain combat even under seemingly crippling damage.  Ship docking procedures and implicit traffic control at stations and jump points.

-Something really went well.
+The wins were two fold.  Design didn't have to micro manage the A.I.  There was plenty of scope in the above to do pretty much what they needed.  On the code side, combat and navigation were organic, with little notable difference between mission ships and random traffic.  As such nothing ended up looking really scripted.
