Does the AI build up veteran ships/fleets?

Or does it squander them?

from GalCiv2 Forums
One tactic that lets you get a military edge is to carefully manage your fleets so that you build up very experienced ships, separating damaged ships from fleets to be repaired so you don't lose the precious HP bonus. Has anyone seen the AI do this? I was demolishing too many enemy fleets at Challenging difficulty to see this in action on the computer's side, but I was wondering if it kicks in at upper difficulties.

I honestly havent seen this and I doubt if the AI does it... that's quite a set of complex choices and responses even if it's obvious to a human.

The new patch will make sure the AI upgrades its fleets, maybe they will also start paying attention to the veteran status of its fleets?

I think it could be relatively straight forward to code, simply make sure the AI tries to retreat its damaged ships to a nearby planet, or at least keep it out of harm's way for a while. This would be balanced against general military needs for that ship. The trickiest part is getting it to keep reinforcements nearby to reinforce those fleets when the damaged ships retreat.

It's better than the original one I had for sure - still in my pictures in my account if you want to look..... strange creature that looks like an alien!
