Default Re: Racial Traits, Discussion on Pro\'s/Con\'s.

More than that, the existing strategies need to be smarter. When you set the AI to target 'strongest' for example, you can count on the it always attacking the ship(s) with the highest weapon damage total regardless of what SORT of weapons it carries. So PD defense cruisers get pummeled by all the battleships in the enemy fleet. Send them outward away from the enemy and they move after them, driving right into the face of your big guns. You battleships blithely pound the enemy battleships to bits at close range while they keep firing at the distant PD cruiser. Deh! Could this 'strongest' setting at least distinguish between 'seekers only' weapons and general ship weapons?
