I don't mean to say that robots with strong autos are invariably higher ranked than robots without them (or at least I don't now, after reading your post), but that of a list of qualities I want in an alliance partner, strong autonomous is probably the most important. I guess the best way to phrase how I intend to pick is like evaluating robots with a WOT; autonomous right now would have the highest weight, but not enough to offset other categories.
