PF: Why is the AI (especially the Narn) building so many weaponles scouts and Escort Carriers with no reactors? On the latter, the CVE design specs call for "solar resource generation - minerals" which is the light reactor. Curious, huh? Is the AI using the default AI somehow, you think?

I also noted that the Shadow's Heavy Molecular Slicer Beam I is twice the weight of the regular MS VII (which you have to have to get to Adv Shadow Molecular Weapons and the Hvy MS), but only does about 20% more damage. At all comparable design levels, the percentage weight increase is barely ever matched by the increase in damage, and the ranges are the same. Wazzup wif dat? Who's doing the weapons data? Maybe I can help with some analysis.
