It seems that in the vehicle size file, if a ship is given the requirement of Pct Fighter Bays, the AI will declare it a carrier( try a full tech test of the AI design creation files). If the idea was to give a shuttle bay ability to some sizes of ships, try doing it this way in the vehicle size file.

Name := Light Cruiser
Number of Abilities := 3
Ability 1 Type := Combat To Hit Defense Plus
Ability 1 Descr := Small size makes ship 10% harder to hit in combat.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 10
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := Launch/Recover Fighters
Ability 2 Descr :=
Ability 2 Val 1 := 1
Ability 2 Val 2 := 2
Ability 3 Type := Cargo Storage
Ability 3 Descr := Provides 20kT of cargo space.
Ability 3 Val 1 := 20
Ability 3 Val 2 := 0

It might make AI design creation testing easier if the entries for “Max Ship Size Tonnage” in the AI Settings Files were all set to zero.

An excellent option TNZ. Will make the changes now. Good work.
