Do they gain experience?

Go to the file menu, turn off AI control, end turn, look at his ships.

If the AI dosen't have training facilities in its build orders, then the only experience will be from ship kills.

I have seen the AI build a training facility, what I do not know is if it was in the Mod I was running at the time (Zippy Mod) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hi all!

I like to play against the AI - with this mods it is meanwhile a big fun to do so!

My question is:

Do enemy ships gain experience? I never saw on conquered planets, facilities like "ship training or fleet training". Is there a posibility to see, wich class of experience enemy ships have?

Any answer would be very kind!

Thanks a lot for your answers.

I will try this "turn of AI controll" and will post again!

It is questionable that the AI makes a good use of the training facilities which are just working in the same sector (except the psychic ones, they are training system wide; Rollo [if you read this], thanks for the hint !).

Perhaps AI only training facilities (system only) should be modded in.

They would be the same as the psychic Race and make sure the alien builds 1 of each per system.

That way they will train while there on their way to attack you...

[Q]

Ships are usually parked in orbit around a colony with a resupply facility. So if you include the training facilities on resupply colonies you will have increased chances they will be effective. However you must make sure that the AI builds a resupply colony first in every system and not (as usually the case) a mining colony with a resupply facility!
Another possibility would be the introduction of combined resupply/training facilities (which need the corresponding tech levels for the training facilities). If you give them a higher roman number and place them directly under the normal resupply facility in the facility text file the AI should use them instead of the normal resupply facility.

No training facilities!
