This is my idea about how the AI construction vehicles and AI design creation files could be changed, to get the AI to do what we want it to do.
In the Federation’s AI Design Creation file it would look like this:
Name := Explorer Class Starship
Design Type := Attack Base
Vehicle Type := Ship
Default Strategy := Optimal Firing Range
Size Minimum Tonnage := 180
Size Maximum Tonnage := 300
Name := Medium Class Starship
Design Type := Attack Ship
Vehicle Type := Ship
Default Strategy := Optimal Firing Range
Size Minimum Tonnage := 350
Size Maximum Tonnage := 600
Name := Heavy Class Starship
Design Type := Attack Ship
Vehicle Type := Ship
Default Strategy := Optimal Firing Range
Size Minimum Tonnage := 750
Size Maximum Tonnage := 1200
Name := Defiant Class
Design Type := Defense Ship
Vehicle Type := Ship
Default Strategy := Optimal Firing Range
Size Minimum Tonnage := 240
Size Maximum Tonnage := 240
And in the Federation’s AI Construction Vehicles file it would look like this:
AI State := Exploration
Num Queue Entries := 22
Entry 2 Type := Explorer Class Starship
Entry 2 Planet Per Item := 120
Entry 2 Must Have At Least := 2
Entry 5 Type := Heavy Class Starship
Entry 5 Planet Per Item := 30
Entry 5 Must Have At Least := 2
Entry 6 Type := Medium Class Starship
Entry 6 Planet Per Item := 60
Entry 6 Must Have At Least := 4
Entry 14 Type := Defense Ship
Entry 14 Planet Per Item := 10
Entry 14 Must Have At Least := 5
Entry 21 Type := Heavy Class Starship
Entry 21 Planet Per Item := 10
Entry 21 Must Have At Least := 5
Entry 22 Type := Medium Class Starship
Entry 22 Planet Per Item := 20
Entry 22 Must Have At Least := 10
I have made a working example. In testing it worked extremely well.
