El Jefe Combat AI

This is a combat AI mod that changes how enemies act in several ways.
This mod makes the following changes: Increases enemy AI e.g. chances they will: avoid/dodge/evade threats, attack when staggered, wait, work as a group and flank etc. Enemies will have more realistic actions, such as more likely to go through doors, reactions to what is going on around them, viewing distances and angles etc. Changes to the combat style by factions e.g. spacers, crimson fleet, Vanguard and Ecliptic e.g. how aggressive and confident they are. NPCs no longer have unlimited grenades. Alien bites cause more damage than other forms of attack such as bashing and using their tails.
I have used several other combat/AI mods but liked specific things from each one that they did but not one of them did everything I liked. Therefore, I used xEdit to see what changes they made and tweaked the settings to my personal preference.
Mods that inspired this were (in no particular order):
Ascension - Gameplay Overhaul by Gothos25 GRiNDY Combat- A GRiNDTerra Combat Overhaul by ItsmePaulieB Improved Combat AI by IxionXVII NASAPUNK2330 - A Starfield Overhaul by FORM10K PEAK - Enemy Combat AI by BasedGodAce Royal Galaxy - A Starfield Revamp And Cut Content Restoration by JaeDL
Ascension and Royal Galaxy make other changes to the game. If you want to keep those changes but use my tweaks, load this mod after them. NASAPUNK does also but this mod may need a patch to work with it.
