And now, that you just invested, in actuality a Prepare for attack (when a Incursion was the call). Can you say that your AI can afford another tumble thru Prepare for Attack, again, and again? Please consider, will you have exotic ships like the Planet or System Destroyer, etc… In the Prepare for Attack.
If not, then were would you request them?

So let us say my AI has plenty of resource reserves and is half way through building everything in the "Prepare for Attack" queue. Then it switches to another state, say "Defend (Short Term)" to repel a small enemy fleet from its territory. Lets say theoretically that it manages to do this without taking any loses, without building any ships, and without colonizing any planets. When it switches back to "Prepare for Attack", the first ship added to construction queues will be from what location in the "Prepare for Attack" queue? Will it be the first entry at the top, the Last entry at the bottom, or would it be the exact entry it would have produced next if it had never been interrupted by the "Defend (Short Term)" state?

What are you talking about: Assume all intervening queues were dummy queues ???
Why would I do that.

Where was this stated that there are; intervening queues were dummy queues in your POSTED; hypothetical situation, Or all the first 15 PPI settings are unobtainable) above?

Regards to:
“And now knowing that the AI does enter the Incursion frequently, then, yes, your ships count will increase rapidly, PER the PPI every time you enter the Incursion state as I pointed out in THAT post, this will include every Item you have in your Prepare for Attack, Attack, Incursion
“
Please refer to:
Cybersol,
Now knowing that the AI does enter the Incursion frequently, then, yes, your ships count will increase rapidly, PER the PPI every time you enter the Incursion state as I pointed out in THAT post, this will include every Item you have in your Prepare for Attack, Attack, Incursion.

Cybersol, all you need to do now, is Study and Learn the:
AI CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES DATA FILE, Rules.
Focus on line 3, first sentence.
3. First item in the queue is selected
Unless of coarse your first 15, lines are, what, dummies. (Or all your first 15 (PPI) settings are what, unobtainable) In your: AI STATE: Prepare for Attack, Attack, Incursion

Please, consider what I posted in regards to the AI state Changes, and all that it implies.
