I don't want to tinker with DS2 to any great extent--I have enough of
a challenge to calculate the results of tinkering in FT. But I'd say
the freedom from morale effects would be something. Aside from
that--a) they'll be run by a (more-or-less) human player; and b) I'd
claim the AI is created on neural nets and designed by humans, so
it'll behave in a reasonably human way.
