I think another thing to keep in mind, in reading your last post again...
You talk of programming the AI to do this and that at the mission level... well based on what I have heard, when using LWAMI, mission designers can largely set the platforms up in certain locations and they will behave intelligently on their own, for the most part.
The reason you have to program attacks and things like that for the stock game, is that AI platforms are so deaf, they will never trip the threshold for attack until they are with in a few nm of most playable contacts.
