Which reinforcement ship is best post update?

The big problem with reinforcements right now is you will only be assured of using the one with maxed reinforcement mats on offense. The AI may not select your one with the mats.

Anyone have more data they are willing to share?

I swear they put up a post somewhere a few days after 2.0 released explaining the reinforcement AI a little better, but no matter where I look I just can't find it.

All I remember--assuming I didn't come up with it in a fever dream or anything--is that the AI determines if you have greater or fewer ships than your opponent, then if you have fewer it will bring in a defensive ship (Boba, Scimitar, etc) to keep your fleet alive, and if you have more it will bring in an offensive ship (Poe, Vader) to press your advantage. I don't know what it does if you have the same number of ships, though. Maybe it calculates health and protection and defaults to more or less again?

But, and this is VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE, I'm going off of a half-remembered post that I can't find anywhere any longer. So take it with a hefty dose of scepticism.
