Actually that was my concern! The AI is building ships with mounts (the non race specific ones) thus making their ships LESS effective than they would be without mounts*


*VERY IMPORTANT*

Want a dramatically faster game???

Disable any or all of the below

Mines
Shuttles
Fighters

How much faster you ask? Well i'm in the 10th year in my game with the Borg, Last games i played were with Breen, Romulans and Dominion respectively, by this stage in the game I could come here, post twice, email people, smoke drink some coffee, watch a little TV in between turns.

Now I have about 1/3 of the time required to write this post !

BTW disabling fighters and shuttles doesnt seem to stop you or the AI from getting shuttles BUT it does seem to speed up the game. Mostly having NO mines is an amazing improvement, Also a major bonus is the loss of the countless AI build mine sweepers! Now the ai builds far more combat ships ))))))

I found this to be true as well. At least 1/2 time between turns. I've disabled mines in my moded Version of the mod and it's very playable after 100 or so turns.
