today a frriend and i played a game vs the ai
we were both borg assim ava and our enemy was a merciless romulan
at the beginning i assimilated the enemy scout cloaked it and send it next to the enemy base to spy
later in the game i noticed that i can see his cloaked units but no one of us researched the sensor nodes or used the intelligence report or something else to detect enemy ships ... only this scout next to them ... and no it was a normal talon ... no talon refit
so how could this be possible ?

Are you sure it wasn't the talon refit? I thought ai could only build refits, not the normal versions.

I think the AI only builds refits after it has researched the refit.

yes i'm sure ... the normal talon ... the talon which is automatically build by your starbase at the beginning

The Ai can't research refits if I'm not mistaken ...

Am I mistaken?

That's what i'm saying, I think the Ai builds refits, another AI difference, like collective uplinks for borg.

If I'm correct, AI builds normal ships, then switches to build Refits after doing the research. They can't really click the Refit button, so it's a required difference (unlike the Borg one, which is just an annoyance).

Click a Research station ingame, they do research in both FO and stock. Refit research is an invisible pod, just like special Weapon research.

yep, Tyler is true. they research refits like everybody would, they just directly have to build the refits instead of refiting existing vessels, that would cause endless reconstruction loops. The AI of Armada2 is quite inflexible, we are working on that one

  Sorry Tyler what I meant was that they can't actually "hit the refit button" on the ship.  Yes they can research the technology itself but they cannot actually refit the ships themselves

hmm ... strange ... maybe it helps if i told you that we also assimilate the starbase, the first yard and one of the research stations
