The AI_DesignCreation-file: A question to all AI-modders and ship designers

[Atraikius]

Rexx - you wouldn't have happened to research either DUC level 2 or 3 after you had researched your Last level of APB for the fighters? If you had, the AI is seeing your small fighter as the latest and most advanced fighter because the DUC is a more recent advance than the APB's are.

Hi Atraikius,
thanks for your answers.
The problem isn't in the research file, DUCs are researched much earlier. In fact, I used APB pretty late and only because of building the fighters I want to.
Do you mean calling for different Design Names or Design Types in the Construction_Vehicle file? So far I tried only Types (Attack Ship, Attack Base etc.). Never thought of calling for Names. Same question is for the construction_unit file which controls almost my whole unit production.

The design name. So, if your heavy fighter listed as Name := Heavy Fighter, Design Type := Fighter; use Heavy Fighter in the Construct_Vehicle file.
