Summary0009290: AI reinforcements out of hand
DescriptionHonestly, it seems the AI is getting far to many reinforcements far too fast. I know there were recently some changes to increase the rate that the AI gets them but I think it is still too far and gets out of hand. When the AI gets to the point that it has too many you're not only holding off waves, hybrids and the sort, you have to deal with the freed reinforcements.

They need to be toned down a little further to prevent the AI's numbers from getting so extreme to the point of frustration and having kill nearly everything (save command stations) in all near by systems.

I'm still getting reports of the AI putting up very little defensive fight, but thanks for the feedback. I'll try to figure out what's so different in different people's cases.

One thing that would be helpful in figuring out exactly what's going on is if you could turn on Reinforcements Logging on the Advanced tab of the Settings window and post those logs (two files in the RuntimeData directory, they'll have Reinforcement somewhere in the names) after you've played a bit in a situation where it seems out of hand.

Thanks :)

For me the Reinforcements are ok, but I normally play with normal waves off and Exo-waves from some source on. So the added AI ships is giving me more to do. However I could see with waves that the changes could be overwhelming.

My current games has seen a large number of ships, but I have hybrids on as well, and they are just dying like always to the spire fleets.

What difficulty are you playing on, and which AIs?
