The best AI mindset for each Sub-Faction in Rebellion?

from Sins Forums

Assuming every AI is Vicious, what would be the best mindset for each one? Aggressor, Fortifier, Researcher, Economist. I am trying to max AI effectiveness for each faction and add a bit of RP. 

(Yes, I know Vasari are not released yet.)

Mine currently:
TEC Loyalists: Fortifier
TEC Rebel: Aggressor?
Advent Loyalists: Researcher
Advent Rebel: Aggressor? 
Vasari Loyalist: I have no idea.
Vasari Rebel: Researcher/Economist (For the whole play well with others theme)

For Trinity:
TEC: Economist
Advent: Researcher
Vasari: Aggressor 

I wish there were more choices. Such as Colonizer(concentrates on expansion) or Diplomatic(for not locked teams). The current list seems limited.

Anyway, Suggestions? Help?

Colonizer would always be the most powerful as colonizing is what will ultimately allow you win a war of attrition.  If I have seven planets and you have five, I'll eventually win unless you're significantly better than me.

 

EDIT: of course, I suppose ultra-hard AI's already have all the resources they need so idk..

maybe flip advent ones so the loyalists are the aggressors if your sticking with established lore.

depending on how many ai players you have, a TEC loyalist economist might also fit.

Not to be overly pessimistic, but I find the fortifier AI to simply be the best for any situation. Aggressive is... hostile with reckless abandon, bordering on insane (which, arguably, might fit rather well), and researcher is a push over. I haven't played around with economist... well... any, I think, but it's supposed to be in the same boat as researcher. Fortifier plays rather conservatively, and isn't much for throwing units away. Only downside to fortifier is their damnable mine spam. :p

Of course, TEC rebel with Pirate Mercenaries makes the suicidal attacks less insane and more tactical, but still. Haven't played the TEC much since the 0.75 changes, not sure how much different it has on the AI.
