A couple strange things ive noticed about AI ships and their use.
The Independant League worlds i can see are protected by Battleaxes Level 0, they have 156 hit points! how the heck did they manage that? thats like 4 times the base HP.
The sedond od thing was when the Torians wo were at war staarted pumping out StarFighter by the dozen, this was mind you in the days wen everyone had Dreughtnaughts and the Rangers were starting to come off the assembly lines. But no they produced a hoard of tiny ships.And finding a I-league Dred they methodialy conducted suicidal attacsk uppon it for some turns.
It is possible to use light cheap units in combat roles, but this was not the way.
