What does "Human Preferred" mean in Frontier FFs?

Looking at the Frontier firefights, it looks like all or nearly all of them have a "Human Prefered" (incidentally that is a mis-spelling in my book) label in the firefight set up screen.

What does this mean exactly? Are these better played agains the AI only? Or is it that if you do play solo play that side for some reason?, but if you play MP all is good?

If you play solo, you should play as that side. There may be AI scripts for the other side. MP eliminates the need for scripts.

Ack, "prefered" is indeed a misspelling. Stress on the second syllable and all that. I can't believe I missed that.

The firefights that have a human-preferred side might be fun when played by the other side against the AI, but we didn't test the other side in these firefights, or try to balance play against the AI or spend a lot of time tweaking the AI scripts in these cases.
