Summary0023628: AI Can stockpile unbounded guard posts with repeated reconquests
DescriptionRepeated reconquests of a planet by the AI allow them to stockpile an unbounded number of guard posts. This can be an issue when faced with minor factions that can destroy an AI command stations (possibly only the reconquest ones that don't have AIP cost), causing the AI to lose and reclaim the planet many, many times out of the players' control or notice, leading to potentially dozens of guard posts.

Maybe have a check to see how many guard posts are already there and only warp in the difference on AI reclaim? Or hard limit to N*original_guard_post_count (for some to be determined constant N)?

Most minor factions should also be killing all the guard posts if they can take out the command station. I'd be interested in knowing which minor factions are the offenders

I think Dyson sphere was one of them (maybe the dyson warpgate was next to the command station so they could get to it first?). Also AI civil war was mentioned. Again this didn't happen to me; I'm just formalizing discussion on discord to a bug post.

Dyson Spheres now must kill all the guard posts on a planet before they can kill a reconquest command station. This should prevent a buildup of guard posts.
