AI Needs to build stronger attack fleets.

from Sins Forums
I must say, the AI instead of wasting so much money on my bounty, it has a hard time building up a decent strike fleet to even begin to make me worry. Infact it seems to send ships one at a time to their death.

Instead of a huge fleet, I am getting one Perchilan Carrier cruiser coming into my heavily fortified sytem. Then that crusier never even launches it one squadron of figter/bombers (which maybe is another bug -needs looking into.)

i hate the fact, that the AI just keeps putting the bounty on my head, even when their the only one left and isn't even trying to build a fleet to stop me.
Don't get me wrong he could build for ever id still kick his ass, but the AI just wants to keep putting the bounty up. Then i jump into the home system and walk through all the defences.

It's not a major problem, but needs to be delt with.

The devs are aware of this issue (see "the battle of kasuga" post), and all of the "bounty" posts.

How you can help the devs narrow down issues, and make improvements is make posts similar to the "kasuga" post with after action reports. You know with "what, when, how, and where" kind of details.

I didnt see any separate battle report topics on here. Maybe its time there should be one.

AI bounty spending is way down and capitalship spending is way up. We'll include this in the next patch.

I don't know if more capital ships for the AI is the way to go. As it is, AI capital ships have a very short lifespan against human players. The AI causes me the most grief when it comes at me with a huge load of Frigates and Light Carriers.

The problem the AI has is it doesn't send strong enough fleets to beat the human player's forces...especially with the AI not using focus fire and engaging in those crazy suicidal retreats.

Those issues are being addressed as well Paradox

yes they need balanced fleets cos they send a whole fleet of like 25 carriers and cos i had 5 aa ships they where all killed and i was able to mop up the carriers easily they also need to spen more money on reaserch cos my ships are always much better than his.

Do you have a save/replay of that kosc? Might be useful.

No , I deleted it after the last patch, since my saved game wouldn't load...

should really proritize the AI's thinking, like, build cobalts first, then they could go down the priority list when light carriers are reasearched, or something along those lines.
