Hey, thanks! But I just have learned from Mephisto, Alpha Kodiak, Atraikius and Rollo... Think they're more creative than me and the true "Masters".

Boarding, not just right for the AI yet.
Kamikazi and Troop Assaults, work for the AI with awesome results

Yep, but I saw the Colony ships of the Vikings board ships... and explode!
But consider that these kind of ships can be used for other purposes as auxiliary ships.

In my view, at least the AI does a decent job (I think!).

Yes, try to have Ship and Fleet Training Facility with your Supply Generation. Or just for SY Colonies. Military and Construction Colonies may be a resupply base if you have a SY present.

Agree with you... but still will be by chance.

(1) Why would you want the AI to invest the Resources for a cloaking BSY, as opposed to a shield and PD?

Good question. My oppinon is that the Armor Cloak is good because give the bonus and a little protection while cloaked. Anwyay, a lone space shipyard usually is dead meat...

(2) With the same name for example (Attack Ship) , the AI usually will pick the upper Designs best and largest design to build..

Think he was talking about the rotation between designs, that at some point the AI start to do (even using the same name!).

(3) Sounds like one for the Experts like MB, Mephisto, Tampa Bay Gamer and Forum Moderators .
As I recall, the AI ship hangs around for a short time if cannot Retrofit, plus the AI gets a neat little message it can't read
I will test this, and get back to you on this if know one replys

Agree with you.

(4) Use the armor Armor Spaces Per One := xxxx in the design file. (for normal Armor)

Agree... but the AI will try to use the "best" available Armor (it mean, Scattered Armor if have the tech and the space).

Inregards to Colonizers, I listen to MB's advise. Actually take all the advise form all the Players, but the Experts I mentioned above, will have the answers. [/QB]

Hug, thanks! But really think that we're most the time blind, and the trial/error and exchange experiences, are the only way to find most of the answers...
