Another weird thing about the 1.25 patch

I think badger is right I think ai upgrades designs with each new teach

Now if it would only retorfit(anthor topic for anothor day)

it does I occasionaly use the ship design minister to quickly create a set of ships and on ocasions when I have forgoten to turn it off it will upgrade the design if you have a better version of any component which is on it avalible. It also changes the ship names most of the time though it will use the same method as human players on occasions.

yeah, 'bout time - pass that on, won'tcha?

but I am curious if that was all boromeo was seeing? Or is it something else?

some of the topics coming up FORCED my ADD-self to READ the WHOLE document.

pretty Damn impressive; if you ask me.

Oh? no one did?
Then I'm going to go back to getting beat up by an AI that can fight back.. read all about it

ok , so its NOT just the upgrades?
That IS weird.
I never said it was, or wasn't, just to check - and you did..
and.. WEIRD.

ps > you can edit the forum, including typo titles..

i know b/c i am the worlds WORST typist..

Troll? No, Sir, I am a BADGER!

The retrofitting is controlled semi by a variable which says only 1 AI ship will retrofit at any time. Which means it will almost allways be building ships faster than it can retrofit them. It would be nice if instead of a hard variable you can set it to a %age of the current number of ships, say 5 or 10% of the ships it currently has is the max it can give retrofit orders to, rather than just one at a time. But failing that you could at least say it can retrofit 5 at a time or something, and slow down the time between it making new ship designs a little(think it currently forces them every 10 turns automatically).

Wonder if it's possible to make it use the same name and just append a design number onto the ships... and rename the ships on retrofitting.....

Any super modders out there or should I try and do this idea myself? If very hard to actually track if it works or not.

The limit can be easily modded. For exemple, in my mod (IRM), the limit is set to 5 (same as Ballance Mod). If you set it too high, the AI will send whole fleet to retrofit all at once...

is that limit on the whole empire? or is it per shipyard?
certainly i am not correct in understanding the compy is only retrofitting 1 ship per turn-month REGARDLESS of empire size?

is THAT why i always see weird out of date ships?
