Nothing has yet been revealed about stats changes and there wont be anything revelead until .86 actually comes out.

All we really know about NPC AI changes is that Gallic NPCs will be made easier to kill. Other than that, we're in the dark.

The Devs often do not release any numerical data prior to the release of the next mod version.

As for new ships that are going into the mod, there is a thread for that which has been linked many times in the 4.86 announcement thread, showing pictures for some (not all) new ships.

We do know for certain that NPC patrols will be much more varied; for example, corporations will use other transports that were added by the Discovery mod, not just the ordinary Transport and Train. Dab made a thread explaining some of those changes a while back.

Why on earth would you bump this after not getting a response for only 1 hour. Not like its important or life altering information.

I think you misunderstood his question, Echo. I think he's asking about AI Drone and AI Cruiser and equipment of those, not AI as NPCs.
EDIT: Ninja'd.

On topic: There won't be any spoilers regarding that, wait for the next mod and you'll see.

Oh, that totally went over my head. Whoops!

All we know are that the Artificial Intelligence are getting new ship models.

Now is not a good time to buy an AI Cruiser, since that ship (like all Capitals) will be affected by the turret-splitting changes, and therefore you would need to re-buy some of your turrets (which can get expensive).
