cost

Float
Description: Cost-gain evaluation is performed to choose an appropriate weapon. Gain includes self-preservation, cost includes time required to complete the attack.

As a result, weapons with high cost are unlikely to be used again common targets, esp. when low cost weapons are available. Still, there may be situation where AI may decide to use high cost weapon, esp. when it thinks it has little chance of survival and needs to attempt destroying enemy quickly.
