with the replaceweapon classlabel regarding Fed warpins...does the higher randomweight imply the more  likelyhood that certain ships will appear?

Sort of 
Really what's going on is that each warp in has a weight for its "slot". Say an Ambassador has a weight of 1, Excelsior has 3, Galaxy 4. So Ambasador warps in at a rate of 1/(1+3+4). Make sense?

sort of....1 out of every 8 ships (1+3+4) would be an ambasador?

i would say more that u have a 12.5 percent chance to get an ambasador given that example but that is not guranteeing that u get an ambasador every 8 chances..... It is still random.

Then it should be fine, the buggers seem quite common. I rarely get anything else...

Just decide on the percentage of Excels you want, and then weight the numbers accordingly
