I'm currently playing the GidMod with the latest patch (1.66).
After more than 100 turns I have seen nothing but frigates from every AI opponent. I am using light cruisers and cruisers.
Another problem is that all the AI's seem to have stopped research on weapons as well. They research up to level 5 quickly (before I do) and then stop. I have been facing frigates with level 5 DUCs and CSMs for over 50 turns with no improvement. They do improve the engines (although they are still Ion engines even though Contra Terra is availabe after level 10) and the armor somewhat. They don't seem to research cargo either (still using level 1 supply and ordinance storage). The first time I ran into an AI frigate it was ahead of me in technology in most areas but now they are so far behind it is no challenge. They also include combat sensors on ships without weapons (such as colony ships).

I was wondering what smilies can be used here. I've tried using some that I knew but the web site won't take them. Thanks.

Okay, I tried to make a component for a ship that would act in place of the resource storage, but it's not working; it won't add to my storage capabilities. Any ideas or help?
