Normal vs. Hard strangeness

Well I can answer one question. None of the races are using combat sensors or ECM because there is a typo in the \pictures\races design creation files. they say combat to hit dec when it should say combat to hit defence plus, and it says combat to hit add when it should say combat to hit offence plus. This ability name was changed but the text files got missed. Mephisto's mod fixes this and I seem to remember someone else uploaded a copy of the files with the fix but no mods.

Addendum -- I've found an AI that actually built some mines, at least one minelayer, and at least one sweeper, but haven't yet run into any actual minefields. Maybe o'er the next warp point, 'tho...
