Summary0000321: Move astro trains to AI plots
DescriptionI think itd be more interesting if those were enabled as AI plots instead of a toggle on the shiptypes menu.

Granted, I doubt many people will use them still, but itd give the player more control over them, as they could choose one AI to have trains.. (and possibly stop the randomly generated AI types from being train masters unless that plot is enabled?)
I feel it goes more in line with the hybrid hives ai plot as well..

Not sure I agree really. Astro trains are a very niche type of ship and yeah, most people don't use them because they are mostly annoying and don't really bring any real value into the game (my opinion). I'm not really sure changing them to a plot would do much for that.

Well, tbh I'm ambivalent about all this. I'd rather have someone astro-train-positive come and comment this, as I'd personally rather have them completely removed xD

I see your point, but I don't agree with it -- I see this as more of a core feature of the AI. I know that some folks disable them, but many don't, and there's no way to have AI Plots that default to on, which is why I don't want to make the shift despite the semantic attractiveness of doing so.
