[ISSUE] AI still misuses government ships

from GalCiv3 Forums

When you change government, you often get a Starship with specific colony bonus.  In this case here, the Iconians had the Prime Minister Starship.  Instead of moving it to a planet where it has some use, they are using it in their attack fleet, despite it having 0 weapons and 0 defenses.

This is indeed an issue I've struggled to teach them NOT to use those ships that way.  It's on my list still.

If they don't listen even to you, we have a problem! :grin:

Is it a problem of teaching the AI not so much the rules but how best to use them?

After all, it's not as if it's not allowed to use the Prime Minister's Starship in a fleet, it's just stupid to do so.
