Hi Slick.
Yeah, you're right. Each EEE colonizer equipped with a quantum reactor comes with two SDDs. I know it's a flaw but it's intentional. The Last patch introducing the hardcoced MC (grumble) raised the resources to be spent for colonizers drastically. Colonizers using a light cruiser hull get very expensive with a MC (grumble, grumble), that means more time is needed for construction leading to a lower expansion rate. (at this point usually I'm getting really annoyed...)
A MC III of 20 kt replacing Bridge, LS and CQ and makes 10 kt space available. Knowing that the AI will fill up free space of a design with the majority component ability I used the SDD (the most expensive - but still useful - 10 kt component) for that. So, the QR-colonizers will get even more expensive, as expensive as possible. I know, it's plain stupid in terms of efficiency but that's the way I'm ticking...

Thanks for your feedback. It is very much appreciated. It is so tedious checking and double checking my AIs again and again to get rid of as many flaws as possible and never completely succeeding. That is when feedback comes into play, unfortunately it is a rare gift...
