Any ideas why would AI decide not to use them?
P.S. Unfortunately my civilization was overrun by swarm from the neighboring system

« on: September 09, 2012, 02:53:18 PM »I am tempted to design a freighter with luxury accomodations(or luxury liner with cargo holds?).
Have anyone tried that? will AI know how to use such a ship, or will there be some conflict?
Edit: Since noone answered I decided to try:
Argentina class Superfreighter 79,600 tons 1648 Crew 2206 BP TCS 1592 TH 3300 EM 0
2072 km/s Armour 1-164 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0
MSP 17 Max Repair 38 MSP
Cargo 25000 Passengers 2500 Cargo Handling Multiplier 10
Ion Engine E0.9 (22) Power 150 Fuel Use 9% Signature 150 Armour 0 Exp 1%
Fuel Capacity 50,000 Litres Range 12.6 billion km (70 days at full power)
This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
I have also heavily subsidized the company to make sure it can afford this ship. Now shipping line has more then 10k credits.
