Re: A few comments about the Romulan
dominion,
Sounds like you were using the "basic_KlingRom" mod which incorporates small and large attack and defence ships (this was done to ensure that early on the races used missile weapons only).
Unfortunately the AI builds a lot of the small ships early on for some reason with this setup (which doesnt manifest itself so much in a standard/basic game).
If you use the Romulan_DesignCreation file from my "KlingRom" mod though (which only has one type of attack and defence ship) they will build whatever the largest ship is that is available to them.
General;
I'm not sure that its possible to design a decent AI ship to counter many of the tricks mentioned in this thread - putting lots of shields or security stations sucks up space that could be used for weapons (see Master Belisarius's early comment on firepower).
At the end of the day, I think we all have to restrain ourselves a little in using some of the tricks available.....
