lack of resource bug

[Jourin]

What caught my attention was during a long war with the modded Xichung. It was a tough battle and then it was like they just gave up and I walked over them. I went back to a save game and observed. They discovered a new ship class a battleship (I think) and then started a ship in every single space yard and base. The following turn, Lack of resouce, lack of resource, lack of resource. Next turn build some ships then lack of resouce, lack of resource, lack or resource and it would still try to build more ships. The AI would scap one ship and then abandon ships even the ones fighting me. The AI just died and became a cakewalk. If the AI had some storage capacity, I think it would have fixed itself. The storage capacity would have allowed it to build all the new ships and then it would start scrapping the older ships to get back in balance. But without the additional storage it did not have the resources for this mass ship upgrade and strangled itself. Also I do not think the AI can scrap more than one ship a turn but can abandon many. Maybe this is also a bug.
