Does the AI get anything from Zenith reprocessors? If not, maybe they can get salvage from reprocessors. Seems to be the most sensible thing.
Yes, the salvage rate from reprocessor kills will probably need some careful tuning, and reprocessors may need to be excluded as an eligible type of ship when sending reprisal waves, to prevent any sort of possible positive feedback loop. But I think this would be a fitting use for the ship when in AI hands.
Thoughts?
