Can someone explain how the ship tonnages work in this file.

Also,the AI doesnt press home an advatage with follow up attacks right? So how about changing the value for turns to wait for next attack from 6 to a lower number????
But what if he got beat and coming back for more to soon is suicide?

Has anyone tried???

What is the 510kt and 610kt limit? The maximum size of a ship that can be built for 20 and 40 turns?

Why would you need that? Humans players arent limited. Can you research ship constuction that fast?

"Also, the AI doesn’t press home an advantage with follow up attacks right? So how about changing the value for turns to wait for next attack from 6 to a lower number????"

In my games the AI does attack every turn so this value does not express the time between attacking one planet after another. I think it's the time value between making an offence into enemy territory. By lowering it the AI will go on the offence quite fast but with some bad luck with too few ships to achieve something. But I may be wrong here all along.

I think it is just for the fun factor so the AI does not use the biggest ships available from the beginning. Ask MM what they had in mind.

This sounds interesting...
Have you tried changing this number to something else? If you have, have you noticed any difference in AI fleets? Forexample, is it using larger fleets in its attacks?

Gotta start doing some testing with this .

I tested it once but the results were hard to catch (to many other variables, no stable ground do extract my research from). And no, I don't think it will build larger fleets. But you can set this in the setting.txt, too. But even if you have 99% of you ships in fleets, you need the ships do fill the fleets.
