Question on AI ship building
 

Is there any way to have the AI create a wider range of attack ships? For example, make fleets with 5 distroyers, 4 cruisers, 2 battleships, and 1 carrier. Or a group of missile distroyers with battleship support. Some of the things I'd like to do for instance is change the Centauri AI to stick to smaller craft for attack and create larger ships for planetary assualt. The league of non-alliegned worlds should have an even wider range of ships of all types. I see that you can set a certain size on attack ships.

About the only way to do this is to 'tinker' with the ships that go into a fleet. Attack fleets include carriers, attack ships, boarding ships, kamikaze ships..(defense fleets only have defense ships)...So since most people don't use the boarding/kamikaze ships then just leave the ship name as is but change all the internal values (weapons etc) and give them a set size (ie, make a small warship with max 400kt or 300kt)etc. Then attack fleets will include this design..make sure to alter the Construct Vehicles txt file so that some of these 'new' boarding/kamikaze ships are built...hope this helps some...
