Where are you getting this x10, x13 and x15 from? The Construction_Vehicle.txt file? If so, I still don't grasp "x10" or "x13"

Yes, he is talking about that file.
use "must have := number"

Just remember that numbers are cumulattive for each design type.

If you have PvK' Proportions mod, take a look on Pequeninos or Soul Hunters files, they build multiple types of attack ships.

Ok, I will do that. But surely, you guys don't use the "must have". You're using the planet : ship ratios, correct?

I think this is why the "x" 10 was lost on me.

A better more diverse AI would be good, thats where PBW makes up for it - you are up against human opponents.

Why not ? I use it a lot. For example, you don't really need more than few warp openers. It also helps to have enough military ships in case of early war !!

Because it can severely punish the AI for not having a decent economy. The ammount of military should be scaled to their economy. Otherwise, they'll either crash, or lack a decent fleet.
