Summary0012012: Design Hacker with "Everything" AI balance issues...
DescriptionThe "Everything" AI has all ship types unlocked from the beginning, which can be a significant challenge.

However, the new design hacking feature has an interesting side effect with an "Everything" AI. Every AI "Everything" world had a backup design storage with 2-3 designs stored. A single design hacking could release 2-3 new designs for the player. As every AI world had a backup, you could cherry pick the combinations.

This reduces the difficulty of the "Everything" AI significantly.

Suggestion: Max of 1 design backup per backup storage unit (or you can select which one to get before it fries).

Well, this edge scenario found me hacking 22 designs at once, from 11 backup servers. Testing for Hacking + ARS combos.

I think there's only a maximum of 11 backup servers allowed on a world? Potential bug here.

Side Suggestion: please also start a second I-III research tab, along with the fleet2 tab. I'd like to upgrade some of these other ships designs. :P
