As title says, note that i only tried normal up to this stage but it seems the AI never researches far enough up the tech tree to get any ships that use the big or huge chassis.
Didnt try 1.1 yet so maybe they research more in that but in my last couple games I always end up with huge ships while the AI has frigattes at best which would be umm medium i guess. Even tried giving them the huge chassis then give it like 60 turns so they can build em but that didnt work either...
Also seems like they mainly use missles sometimes mass drivers but have yet to see em research far into the beam weapon tree.
Just curious if anyone has seen them build the biggest cap ships available. End game I always walk over them so the mop up is really boring.
