Re: Ai testing : what to do when the AI stops building ?
Built your AI resource storages? I saw it in the past: if the AI has not some of them, simply doesn't build anything.

What could be the problem ?

How do you check that planets do not build anything ? By looking on construction queu ? It may be misleading - AI may build units for one turn - it leaves queu empty at the begining. Or is it nothing build according to turn log ? If the latest, insert more calls for units in construction.txt file.
AI indeed like to use bases for shipbuilding reserving planets for unit building (ai never build units on orbital shipyards). Make AI build more base shipyards, it may help.

Re: Ai testing : what to do when the AI stops building ?
Another suggestion - maximise "percentage maintenance cost" or something like this in AI_settings. Make it 99% ! You may need to regenerate .emp file for this to take an effect.

- no ships left in space

Re: Ai testing : what to do when the AI stops building ?
Looking the picture, Trooper, must say that is exactly what I told you: build some Supply Storages and you will see that the AI start to build things again...

Re: Ai testing : what to do when the AI stops building ?
I'll try if the problem occurs again in the new game I'm testing. But the AI is supposed to do it alone...
Is there anything logical behind this behaviour ?

Yes, it is. After all it is just a computer shuffling 0 and 1 in its memory. The problem is how to decifier its behaivor based on the output of our modding without any information about algorithms behind :} Would be no problem to Sherlock or Poir.
