The First state is Explore and it will of coarse build the BSY.
Basically, it depends on what mod you are Playing….
Proportions and AIC is the only AI that I have done for se4, and both Mods build a lot of BSY’s …
You may not be able to have 10 overall BSY in base se4 effectively.
I have BSY construction any way in all my AI States. So after changes, if any, are really not an issue.
For example: With my Current Abbidon Race for Proportions. I would look for:
Explore = 4 Ship Yards.
Infrastructure: Will increase to 5 Ship Yards.
Prepare for Attack, Attack: Will increase to 7 Ship Yards.
Secure Holdings After Attack, Incursion: Would only total 6 Ship yards.
Prepare for Defense, Defend (Short Term), Defend (Long Term) : Would stay at 4 Ship Yards with the AIs emphasis on building Defense Ships.
Not Connected: Would show show by, what the AI is researching, then Building.
This method as you could see, can help you determine the AI is functioning the way you want.

PvKs Proportions
-----------------------
For AIC, I just know the changed AI State by the total Ships, Bases even units that just increased in its score totals, at any point in the game. For each of the Races.
I no longer need to go into the RACE.
For example in AIC:
A lot of new Ships and Bases (BASE YARDS) means that AI just went into the Attack State.
A lot of new ships, Units (infantry) and a few Bases (defense bases) means that AI just went into a Solid Defense State.
A lot of ships and no Base means the AI just went into Incursion State...
There are many other tell tales as well.
In other words if AI Race (A) Just increased new Ships and Bases.
Then AI RACE (B) Just increased new ships, Units and a few Bases.
Then they are dukeing it out somewhere in the Quadrant...
With AI Race (A) having the Initial advantage.

This can be tracked with view all scores (on).
