Hi All, I was wondering if the amount and grade of AI cores used in a colony determine the likelihood of Hegemony Inspection or Luddic Path interest.  Like does it make a difference, if you only used one or two cores compared to fully installing them in all your structures?

Luddic Path Interest is +1 per gamma core, +2 per beta core, and +4 per alpha core.  Some colonies will be able to make some use of AI cores without getting active pather cells.

Hegemony Inspection I'm not as certain on - it seems likely that inspections will be less frequent with fewer or lower-grade AI cores in place... but they will still happen even if the only AI installed is a single gamma core.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

if you get a inspection.  Go dark and waist the fleet.  No survivors.  Turn the ships black boxes into molten slag.  And block al local com traffic.  Then plant a story about raids from Pathers on the inspection fleet.
