defence ships
How AI handles defence ships now ? I know before they were practically useless - AI did not include them in fleets, IIRC and AI is better off with just attack ships. Has it been changed ?
I want to put more variety into AI ships designs but I am not fully satisfied with using design names in construction file for that purpose.

Re: defence ships
One of my races uses defense ships and the AI does pretty well with them. From what I have seen, in my current round of AI testing and updating, the AI treats them the same as attack ships.

Re: defence ships
Newbie question...what are teh differences between attack and defense ships?
What are the different components you put on each.
I generally make all my ships with attack capabilities in addition to adding shileds and armor for defense...am I missing something?
thanks.

It is a pure AI issue. Thy might be exactly the same design but supposedly AI uses "attack ships" for attacking and keep "defence ships" in home systems for defence. Apparently, according to Gandalf (thanks ! It is good to know), AI no longer destinguish between them. It should be usefull for improving AI shipbuilding.
