Re: Moral issue on \"Missle Dance\"
General Hawkwing: My understanding of the thread I mentioned is that the design flaw has NOTHING to do with the research priorities; it has to do with a BUG in how the AI decides which engine is "better"; it looks at the "Roman Numeral" field, not the tech level. Therefore, the AI thinks that the Ion Engine III is "better" than the Contra-terrene Engine I and II; and just as good as the Contra-terrene Engine III, so doesn't bother redesigning for that level either. In other words, researching engine levels does NOT trigger a redesign. So the AI could have level 7 in engines and still use the wimpy little Ion Engine III.
There's also a rumor that this same bug is preventing the appropriate use of quantum reactors...
