this is not a complaint just an observation but has anyone noticed how the ai seems to have unlimited resources i mean ive just been playing the new 3.07 mod just to get a look at the new veteran ships played for about 2-3 hours then quit coz its getting l8 but i noted the tallys of all theams ill show you what i mean

map nirvana 2
teams 7 ai meciless and me

no of ships built

team 1 me romulan 119 most needed for defense
team 2 ai klingon built 1678
team 3 klingon built 1756
team 4 klingon built 1754
team 5 borg built 818 including 83 cubes
team 6 romulan built 1470
team 7 feds built 1790
team 8 dominion built 1892

now anyone up for the challeng play the same map all ai merciless opponents 1 of each faction plus 2 random and whoever you choose no borg please see how long it takes and how many ships u need to win

Unlimited resources, greatly reduced cost, no cost. Take your pick, there are many things the AI of any game could use.

yeah but look at those ship numbers 83 borg cubes lol the funy thing was i got raided by 3 cubes and a few other ships they destroyed all my turrets and ships gaurding the worhole then just left and let me rebuild my forces perhaps they were afraid of the tavara that was just finished lol

Yup, the AI uses no resources. The AI should be getting a redo in the upcoming patches, so hopefully things will get more challenging and realistic

I know there are certain strategic limitations on the AI and it should have some allowances on production, but would it really be that much of a stretch to have it actually require resources?

winning is no problem when ur borg as u just gather a few cubes and its game over but when u play as anyone else it takes an incredible amount of ships just to hold ur own why do the ai even bother gathering resources when they can just build nearly 2000 ships by the time youve barely built a 100 i mean the borg had 83 cubes it would take any 1 of us hours just to get 10 cubes but i still find it amusing that they decimated my defense then just left and let me rebuild to an even stronger level

I think one of the files for A2 and FO (RTS_CFG), says the AI builds things for only 10% the cost and with a 40% build time reduction.
