SunDevil, this is not the only area in se4 programming that AIC has strayed from the norms you and others may be used to, as many have seen thru play, the AI Players competitiveness, excells in AI Campaign.
Other then, AIC’s Infrastructure variation. The other States are textbook, with Aaron Halls defaults groupings. Also, includes a variation of MB’s AI Colonizer efficiency protocol.
Others that play AIC do attest, that the AI does colonize well, and the Human Player must play a good game thru out; in order to keep up with this AI
If the Colonizers, where to be moved up in Priority or a PPI added to the Colonizers in some AI State groupings, as you may be suggesting SunDevil. The AI Player WILL in FACT make more Colonizers and then burden the Human Players as opposed to just challenge the Human Player in a starting [None Bonus AI Game].

When the ai is in this state, as long as the ai player has two active colony ships, it will not build anymore. So if the ai is stuck within this state fighting with another race for an extended amount of time it will not build any colony ships unless the number drops below two. I have no idea where it is determined if the ai player actually colonizes a planet or not with the two available colony ships. There is no set specific types of colony ships specified in this state.
AI State := Prepare for Attack, Attack
AI State := Prepare for Defense, Defend (Short Term), Defend (Long Term)

SunDevil.
In regards to many Colonizers in the Prepare Attack and Attack States, you do not expect the AI Player to Attack with Colonizers. The Colonizers will come from the Secure Holdings State and only if Victorious from the Attack State.
In regards to many Colonizers in ANY DEFENSE STATE, you do not expect the AI Player to DEFEND ITSELF with Colonizers do you SunDevil?
There is a lot of thought that must go into an AI Players Vehicle Construction file. It cannot be arbitrary.

Infrastructure state, if you count each entry type you will notice this:

This might be causing problems, it might be something to look into:

Since I programed this SD, and it works without errors, the AI will do what I want, when I want and how I want.
When it is supposed to do it, as per its se4 AI State Change Logic.
