AI Design

[PvK]

Design names do work, or they did, the Last time I was modding AI's. You might not be understanding how the construction file works, though. If you have, for example, lines to build:

Attack Ship x 10
Named Attack Ship A x 13
Named Attack Ship B x 15

where "Named Attack Ship A" and "Named Attack Ship B" have type = Attack Ship, the AI will build 10 attack ships of the "best" type in its opinion, and then 3 Named Attack Ship A's, and then 2 Named Attack Ship B's. That is, assuming no losses, the numbers subtract the number of ships of the same type (not name) that have already been built. So if you want 10 generic attack ships, 13 A's, and 15 B's, then you need to ask for:

Attack Ship x 10
Named Attack Ship A x 23
Named Attack Ship B x 38

(That is, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, but I don't think I am.)
