Enemy Fleet Composition

from Sins Forums
Even on hard, it seems that enemy fleets are rarely that large and are almost always comprised of frigates by the time I have massive fleets of cruisers and cap ships. Is this normal? Or is it still just early in the game for the AI?

Well, it seems to me that the only strong AI enemy is unfair hard (agressor), not just hard. That is so like in other games...

AI tends to build a lot of siege frigates. Because they had their price increased and their supply limit increased, this keeps the AI fleet small.

I also have seen this problem. In my mind the AI uses too many frigates. Siege friates, are useless, in my mind. The AI, also uses to many light frigate and long range frigate, even when the AI is playing Advent. In one battle where the AI had about 500 units in supply points for a fleet, I only counted 5 HC and a lot of light frigates.

I am playing Sins patched to the 1.05 version and I dont have these problems with enemy fleets. The AI fleets have several caps (even maxing out on caps in one game) and a variety of all types of ships, including HC (a lot of those too). I play against Hard Ai.

You can avoid this problem by playing real human opponents in online multiplayer via Ironclad Online. ;) I can't bring myself to play single player at all now.
