Re: new SEIV patch !!
Rexxx - yes, the AI will use MC on all ships as soon as they are available. It will not use B/LS/CQ then.

I'd say almost all the time you can, in un-modded SE4. Some of the changes may require updating by mods, but it doesn't look like there were too many this time.

Mods will work perfectly fine. Upgraded games will work perfectly fine. The only difference is that mods will not use the new formations in 1.84 unless they are updated to do so. But, the unupdated mods will still work 100% ok. |

Re: new SEIV patch !!
Even if it only has MC I (4000 minerals, 40 kT) and it's building an escort which only requires 1500 minerals and 30 kT worth of control components?

Re: new SEIV patch !!
guess the mc should be changed to 30kt to make it worth it volumewise.
also why is sheild generator I only 30kt but the rest are 40kt?

Re: new SEIV patch !!
The AI will almost never have only Escorts when it gets MCs.

Yes. It is the AI writers job to insure they don't research computers too soon. The goal is to allow the AI to defend itself vs the alliegence subverter. |

Re: new SEIV patch !!
Although, it occurs to me that an AI unlucky enough to discover computers in ruins early on would be screwed.
We could do a mod which makes the MC too large to fit on smaller ships, and give a MC only mount above the ship size at which we decide the AI should start using them.
