Really?
Yes which make sense as plasma has higher threat over missile because of AoE. If you try swarming the enemy point defense with missile and use teller torpedoes near them, the teller torpedo still gets destroyed easily because the enemy PD are set to destroy teller first, which has higher priority over missile. But if you swap the missile for many plasma launchers, the teller has a much higher chance of deploying.

How about we expand upon this by also adding a toggle-able function.
Yes, and for all ships. That way, you can swap control of your scouts to 'allied' and focus on non-flanking ships. Or the other way around, just as long as you can set something to AI and just forget about it.
Also, I had the strangest idea of creating a ship with a planet for the core, which only amplifies my urge to customize the cores.
Perhaps also being able to set your own shortcuts and hotkeys.
Yes, this is a good idea.

Then they would need some kind of AI.
Quick question, how is a ship's AI 'triggered'? Not the AI Mode, but at what range it will chase down targets. I believe weapon's acquisition range is just their range and arc, but how do I know how close an enemy ship needs to be before my ship will not just fire weapons, but move to face the target?

AI range is what distance, in pixels, the ship will try to be at as opposed to the ship it is targeting. To make a ship target another, there is an in-game option that will let you choose and AI range, that range is how far, in pixels, that a ship need to be before it is targeted by an enemy. This is toggled in the sandbox options menu.

I don't think this is the right thread if you're talking about the game. And if you're talking about the shipmaker, it isn't needed. You can change the size manually.
And, I wish there would be a coloring mode where you select a color and click on sections you want to 'paint' (as an addition to the ctrl+click on a color button so that any new sections will have that color, and some of the other ones I've forgotten about.), that and multiple selection plus box-selection. If it can be done.
With reference to the hatch problem post in SM info:
I think it may be wise to include a "move mode 2" action in SM with behavior so that a section has on and off movement sequence specified by the same fields as normal move action. Each open and close sequences both stop themselves by default when reaching target or origin. Rather than making movement stop, the trigger off fields initiate the closing sequence regardless of the state of the animation until it reaches origin or interrupted by another trigger on event and vice versa.

I don't know about regular cannon fire though.
The precise list is as follows, with the top being high priority, and the bottom being low priority;
