Tips for replacing obsolete units?

Upgrading WPs could help the AI. If the AI is coded for it and if some control of it could be scripted in AI files.

There is one MOD (Zippys?) that doesn't allow the AI to do what its not good at, like build WPs.

Who said that the AI was not good at building weapon platforms? If you make a good design_creation.txt you will have very good AI weapon platforms that can bLast entire fleets out of the sky (especially after they gain +6 range and +80% to hit with gold

).

Does the AI scrap and replace the WP???? It seems to max out and stop on the smaller planets.

I ravaged some AI opponents with cloaked Avenger BCs containing Level 5 Plague, armor, shields, repair, solar, and PD. Great against undefended planets or ones with older WPs. One of these wipe out all of the smaller pop planets in 7 systems.

In SEIV, the AI doesn't scrap WP. This is easily seen on Neutral planets which still have the CSM I weapon platforms on their homeworlds.

Would be nice if it could go from planet to planet and jettison WP designs that were x turns old or something.
