In my last 2 Games the AI Begun to build Dreadnoughts as soon as they had any weapons to equip on a ship.
This all started after i Installed the HRGMod 2.0 and one of the Jewlerys mod from the Mod section (HCGCM for TA 1.0).
I cant build Dreadnoughts, so i dont believe its directly related to the two mods above. (I Can build Ships looking like Dreadnoughts, but the AI is actually buildng REAL Dreadnoughts (100+ HP 6+ Weapons (Stingers -.-)).
That all happend on Immense Galaxy Maps with AI-CPU MAX, 9 Opponents, Overall Difficulty Tough.
On a tiny Map with only one Opponent (same Mods, evrything else the same) this didnt Happen.
