AI late game Ship Designing problems (turns 100+)

[HreDaak]

Uh.. does the AI really add those roman numerals to it's design names? I'm quite sure that i have never seen it using them
with it's design names. In my games it just
chooses a new name for the next design .
Also i have made sure that the AI does not run out of names in it's *.txt file.

I made a special names.txt file for my test race that consists of numbers between 1-1000.
Every time when the AI has used something between 250-350 design names it completely stops designing new ships or units. It starts to ignore new research advances and only makes a new design when a new type of Hull is researched.
When it makes this design with this new hull type it uses the latest technology available but it never redesigns old hull types again.
