(Mod renamed to Companion AI Updated. )

I've moved companion AI stuff from Aggressive Enemy AI (AEAI) over to this mod. This version includes Adoring Fan and all of the ship hires, making them all aggressive and giving them reasonably useful combat AI data.

Okay, I think I'm getting close to the max I can do with Vasco's AI without real scripting tools or the ability to get into the packages - in other words, without CK. I could be wrong but I think we're more or less there.

I made a serious error in 0.3, accidentally putting a value into the Shout equipment field rather than Ranged. That's fixed. I also have done some testing and analysis on the Model A bots in general, and have tweaked Vasco's stances accordingly. He's now using a combination of Ranged and Unarmed, heavily weighted towards Ranged, so he'll mostly fire from a distance and then resort to punching close up.

His evade/avoid numbers are increased, and he may now occasionally seek cover. I've also rebalanced his offense/defense decisions so that he's a bit more likely to take the fight to the enemy.

Finally, I took another look at his accuracy. I changed his overall accuracy to 0.75 but gave his laser a minor accuracy bonus, which seems to be producing the hit balance I wanted to see.

In earlier versions, I simply replaced Vasco's combat style record with a copy of Kaiser's. The problem is that a large portion of the Starfield CS record is still unknown data, so that may have had unintended effects. To mitigate this factor, I took Vasco's original CS record and tweaked known data values to Kaiser's settings, otherwise leaving him with his stock data.

The other thing I did this time around was upgrade Vasco's weapons. He uses a mounted Equinox rifle, but a really really really shitty one that has under half the range and about a third of the punch of even the most basic handheld version. I split the difference, significantly upgrading the range and damage while still keeping it reasonably below the basic handheld.

It seems to test fine and he doesn't seem to have trouble recovering from bleedout on his own.

Vasco's general ranged accuracy bumped from 0.5 to 0.85.
