Default Re: New kinds of PDCs

Hello suiside_junkie.
How where you planning on geatting the computer to use this mod?
I found that when I adapted my data to reflect starfire engine requirements, that the AI thinks Minimum speed = minimum engines
and desired speed = desired engines.
To get around this I had to edit all the AI designcreation files to greatly increase the number of engines in the ship designs, otherwise the computer would do things like build a SD with ony 4 engines and a move of 1! or a Monitor with 4 engines and a move of 0! Also, unfortuately I also had to break the ship types down into different sizes, because if i just left , for example, the attack ship as a single entry,; Then the computer would try to cram 12 engines int an escort, if I had edited the minimum speed to 12, to allow SD's to have a minimum speed of 3.
