Default Re: Balance Mod...

Some other major AI issues besides the 'stream of ships' problem:

So far it looks like every AI researches fighters and builds one or more 'Light Carriers' -- and then does nothing with them. They just sit there, usually over the homeworld, and never get stocked with fighters or deployed. Isn't this a bit wasteful?

Neutrals will do the same thing with colonizers. Even when the single system that a neutral has access to is fully colonizefd it will keep two or even three colonizers on standby like it's expecting a new planet to be discovered. This is very expensive for an 'empire' consisting of a single system.

Nitpicks:

Why is the Ionic Pulse Missile not placeable in units, while the Capital Ship Missile and the Plasma Missile are? In stock, it is just like the other missiles. ???

The field of torpedo weapons seems to have one more level than is needed. I researched Gamma Pulse Torpedo to level 6 (tech level 20) and there is still one more level. If I researched that, I'd get nothing because the GPT has maxed out. That would waste a lot of research points for some stupid AI that doesn't know any better.
