How to keep up with AI Unit Production?

[QuarianRex]

Also remember that all units are not created equal. While you might be pumping off 120kt satellites with large mount PPB's or large drones, the AI might be producing light troops, small fighters, or infantry (if you're playing a mod that has those). By mass producing these cheap units (up to hundreds at a time with infantry) an AI can easily produce more units even with an inferior pruduction capacity.
