[Deathstalker]

Ok this is a general question, how does the AI decide what ship to build??? In a few of my designs I have the ships seperated by sizes (ie, 3 attack ships, the first ending at destroyer, the second at battlecruiser etc.). I noticed that the Zorians build almost all of their types frequently.

Mine don't, in one I have 4 attack designs , and 2 defense designs. It has build the 2nd defense design but never any other attack except the first.

Another AI I have does not build beyond light cruisers for the ship designs of attack defense even though the designs exist in the files, it will build battleship class minesweepers but not attack ships.

How do you get the AI to build all the designs you place in the design creations txt?? I can't find a consistant way to do it. I have tried both doing 3-4 ship designs and having the size 10-5000 kt for them and limiting them by size (ie 1st 10-300, 2nd 301-600, etc), nothing seems to work right. I even have a few ships that should come on line when only certain tech is discovered (ie, in the 'must have lines'), these new ones are not build either.

What am I doing wrong?????
