"5. Fixed - AI will now use Master Computers on his ships correctly."

Can you explain this a little further?
Will the AI use master computer when it is cheaper to use it for larger ships automatically or do you have to instruct it in the vehicle design file?

It probably means that the AI won't throw a Bridge, LS and CQ on ship designs that don't have those in them (as they have a MC instead).

I did some test's of the MC fix. The AI doesn't redesign the ships with MC as soon as it's researched. However it does redesign them with MC once it researches another tech, propulsion, ship construction, weapons. The new designs will ahve MC, even if that means the 40Kt MC I if that's all that's available.

If you dont' want the AI to do this, don't put comuters in the research queue I guess. The problem we were having was if you put computers in the research queue it still wouldn't use them unless you called for them specifically in the design. ANd if you called for them specifically in the design, it used them and the bridge, LS CQ comps.

This could cause money problems for some AI if they research computers too early in the game.

HUH? I though that is what this thread was for. let the patch testers who read this forum take credit for finding it. I don't care. Right of authorship only applies for me in regards to my poetry.

I was hoping my requested target types would be included in patch 1.83 - rats!
