I wonder about the happiness values still, because clearly a high positive value had a high positive effect. I think it needs more testing to really see what's happening.

AI in 1.5 is much improved, especially for the Amon'krie. It will build a network of colonies with generally appropriate facilities, and spread along a network of resupply depots, etc. Unless it hits too many obstacle sectors, because it still uses inefficient engines and will tend not to have enough supplies to get through these. I guess that's sort of interesting in that you can have an AI hiding out behind them, since in Proportions it won't fall too massively behind if it can't colonize as much as other players. However I will eventually make some AI that create longer-ranged ships, etc.
