The problem stems from weap_strat() and arm_strat() using values inside PlayersData to make calculations for those same values inside enemy_capabilities() causing circular references. This in turn causes all sorts of inconsistent behavior related to the psi values.
There is also the possibility of inconsistent results dependent on the faction order. It seems to take a couple iterations of the capabilities function to normalize. This will need some more review.
