Why? I don't know how this will affect PVP players but it is going to suck against the AI which can field larger fleets faster in the early game. Being able to build a better fleet than the AI by being able to field capitals is how you survive.
This feels like an attempt to make the early game longer when what is needed is ways to make the late game more challenging instead of just a mopping job.
Hey!
The AI is not supposed to build inefficient fleets. AI was following the intended logic of the game, while capital ships were outperforming, which made human players specialize in those.
An alternative solution would have been to adjust AI to spam capitals, which would result in a similar issue for your gameplay.
We want to make a challenging AI, over AI being inefficient but with cheats.
If you find yourself outmatched by AI, try lowering difficulty (since now AI is closer to optimal strategies), and you could also check out our extensive guide library here: https://wiki.sinsofasolarempire2.com/space/SSEFW/1684832258/Guides
