Default Re: designcreation problems again

AT, you could go either way with it. I was modding an AI that had it set up like this:

Max Ship Size Tonnage From Start 1 Amount := 500
Max Ship Size Tonnage From Start 1 Num Turns := 40
Max Ship Size Tonnage From Start 2 Amount := 500
Max Ship Size Tonnage From Start 2 Num Turns := 20
Max Ship Size Tonnage From Start 3 Amount := 0
Max Ship Size Tonnage From Start 3 Num Turns := 0

When I tested it out using a high tech start the AI wouldn't design ships over 500 tons until later in the game. I just zeroed everything out and all was good. Did I find a bug? What I don't understand is why anyone would even want to handicap the AI with these lines.


Edit: OK, I just checked using TDM races. On a high tech start the Abbidon and Amonkrie won't design ships larger than cruisers until later in the game and the Aquilaeian won't design anything larger than a battleship until later in the game. I thought that "Start 1-3" corresponded with the begining tech level. Am I mistaken?
