Changes how the AI determines if a ship is going to be assigned an escort duty.  Appearenly, it affects it a lot. :)

Part of figuring out what gets assigned where is looking at the weapons. This is determining how much the system counts for in that calculation. For comparison, iirc weapons count for 1/3/7 points depending on size.

Ty Alex, this means the higher the value the higher the possibility that a drone fly off to pursue an escort mission (if ordered to) even if it's not related to the carrier ship?
