Good point,

I can't say for sure the stars have no impact on AI ranges, detections, accuracy etc... But from all my mission editor quick skirmishes i built to learn the simulation mechanics, i noticed that even changing the amount of start from 1 to 3 and vice-versa when saving the missions never seemed to give an advantage or disadvantage of any kind to the AI.

I was able to be targeted by enemy and target them myself at 1 star or 3 stars the same. So i assumed setting the amount of star is just an indication you give to the player on how the mission will be difficult.

If anyone can confirm that stars are just an indication for the player, or instead of that will have a real impact on the AI values, it would be very nice.
