Question AI Ship Building

[Q]

Quote:
"entry 1 to planet per item = 10
Would that equal 100 ships
and if i decreased it to 1 would that be a 1000 ships ??

Or should I increase the at least bit ??

Or decrease the per item and increase the at least??

And If I do this mid game what will happen to the ai."

These calculations are right. Use mainly the "planet per item" if the empire is large but the minumum number is useful in the beginning of the game and for very special ships like "create planets".
However in the example you gave the entry 2 will give 20 colonizers and entry 3 will make 5 mine sweepers for example. Every item type is dealt seperately.
You can change the construct vehicle file during the game without problems. However you never know exactly in which "state" the AI is, so you may have to chance the lines for all the different AI states.
