A lot of things being said here. It's pretty complicated and it can't easily be boiled down in forum posts because of how many variables compound on each other.
The real answer is that if you want to understand the AI, you just have to grind it up yourself, repeatedly testing out ideas against different fleets; there are mods that can facilitate this, and the upcoming sim update will make a big difference in ease of use. I doubt that the dev knows nearly as much as some of the forumers here who have done this to an unsettling extent, with their tournaments and ordo showoffs.
