AI Cruisers modmod for Starnet/tech
This is a modmod for Starnet/tech. It aims to equip the AI with the current meta approved universal cruiser design. It must be used together with Starnet/startech and loaded after it.
It does the following:
All ships auto upgrade by themselves Currently, the AI is bugged and does not upgrade old ships to newest designs, this is the only way to sidestep it.
Changes cruiser automated ship design
Cruisers now have a torpedo bow, hangar core, gunship stem, with the appropiate weapons, as seen in pictures. The designer will also equip afterburners, Armor Hardeners and Shield Hardeners. To help it, Hardeners no longer have rare resources cost. This affects the AI ship design too.
Changes AI fleet composition to almost exclusively field cruisers in their fleets. AI Crisis Empires will switch production to torpedo menacing destroyers.
Changes some AI tech weights The AI will put great value on techs like torpedoes, sentinel PD techs, Armor Hardener, Shield Hardener. And depriorize other techs, like corvette hull HP for example.
Drastically lowers weight of some subpar components For example, Starnet/tech still has Crystal Infused Armor with big weight, but this component is now weak. The AI should will no longer equip it.
All AI personalities now have a 60/40 split between armor and shields.
