AI shipbuild suggestions

[Deathstalker]

Just had an idea while at work. At the moment when you save an empire 'in game' (while playing) all ship styles created are saved. So when you start a new game with the .emp file all the designs are open to you but not the tech (you still have to research), this is good for not having to re-do all you favorite designs each game.

Now to the suggestion, could the AI be modded to use these styles in the saved .emp file??? If so each race could have tonnes of different ship styles instead of the one (or few) that it does now. That way ships could be designed componant by componant, and could have more than two types of weapons.

This would probally have to be hard coded but it was worth the thought.......

Anybody else have thoughts on this issue?..

Good idea and it would help the AI a lot, but I don't know if it is possible to do.
