In my SP games I notice the AI loves to use heroes in fleets. I do not even know if it uses them on systems. Yet one question I have is, since it uses them for fleets is it selecting the traits that benefit their leveling and use in future battles?

In the unmodded game, the AI makes poor assignments of heroes to fleet or system. We have improved this by modding one file. However, the majority of heroes are "hybrid", with one fleet class (pilot, commander) and one system class (corporate, admin). In this case, the AI will usually pick half of its abilities as fleet abilities and half as system. So, a hybrid hero in a fleet will have "wasted" half its abilities. This, we cannot fix by modding.
