United Flora vs Sergetti.
Turn 130.
The United Flora are ahead in numbers, but the Sergetti are keeping their borders.
The Sergetti have problems with their ship designes.
Although the Sergetti have Shields 9, still their attack ships have not Phased shields. It looks like a hardcoded problem.
I can bet that it will be fixed in the next turns, but I saw before this kind of problems.
Think it happen because the Sergetti researched all the weapons that need for their beam attack ships (at this case, PPB V), then, the AI doesn't believe that need to update their ship design.
It will be fixed, after some turns (I believe that every 20 turns or something like that without tech level changes in the weapons, the AI redesign their ships).
Turn 150.
Now the Sergetti ships are using Phased shields... but their main ship is now a BC instead a DN. This is the result of the behaviour detailed before.
To avoid this problem in my own AIs, I have designed at least 2 kind of attack DN, with DIFFERENT WEAPONS. Then, the AI alternate the designes without use a BC or lesser ship size.
This is valid for the units too...
Turn 194.
The Sergetti are loosing the game. They doesn't control Abrion and Rove anymore, and the UF invaded other of their systems.
Turn 251.
Game Over. The UF won without problems.
