After Last SE patch, AI_design_creation.txt needs adjustments. SE keeps active the latest models of all possible design types. The structure of Proportion's AI design file (separate entries for escorts, frigates, destroyers, etc) forces AI to keep redesigning and building escorts and frigates even when battlecruisers and battleships are discovered. Obviously, it greatly handicaps AI fleets.
Not at all. In Proportions, larger ships do not make smaller ships obsolete. It's desirable in Proportions that the AI continues to build a mix of warship sizes after it researches larger ships. There are tradeoffs between the sizes, and an AI that only built the largest ships it could would, I think, be at a disadvantage.
