Is the Ai using the new tech system? Also the new update is fantastic!
Heya,
so I'm playing an empire campaign on hard difficulty and it seems like the rebels are not teching up. I have still only seen the two capital types they start with at around week 30. (the blueish one with the giant shield and that one that admiral radish uses in rogue one) I hit them pretty hard early on conquered kasyhk and onderon to get dalaa quick and proceeded to take the allyuen sector and sluis van/utapau. Now I hit the BS even harder taking everything west of rodia up to jedha but they still started building Lucrehulks at around week 10, so they seem fine. It seems like rebels and BS are battling against each other around mandalore so maybe thats where all the modern ships are. Still I'm wondering whether anyone has noticed something similar?

P.S. I've played this mod since the times I had to install the game via cd and delete some ♥♥♥♥ in some folders to get the ai running, an ai that could never defeat a Golan III station, and I must say that you absolutly topped yourself again. The new space maps are fantastic, as are the different missions and the balance in general.

The AI was intentionally prevented from teching for the first 20 weeks or thereabouts - I've been arguing against that for a while

I wonder if it can be set per difficulty? If one is playing on expert, imho the AI should be teching up right at the start, just as the player does.

The thread I was looking for.

I'm playing as Empire on expert. I'm at week 138 and the Rebels are yet to do any space tech. They're sending hundreds of gunships backed by fleets of Nebulon Bs, dreadnaughts, basic capital ships and bulk cruisers. The numbers are staggering.

Well that's not good. This isn't a pre update save is it?

No. A new game I started to test your mod. It's not hard to defend against. But it's lame.

I assumed the AI had run out of space to build them now I read the AI doesn't research for 20 weeks. They never get supply blocked do they? :D

Have you been hitting them really hard? They might not tech up if they are being incredibly beat up. What GC was this? Either way this is concerning, first i've heard of it on this build though

I'm not sure what you mean by hitting them hard. If you mean: "Have I destroyed an incredible amount of ships and gear?", the answer is: Yes. Resoundingly. "If you mean, have you taken planets and destroyed rebel stations and buildings" the answer is NO.

I have the Empire's starting planets plus Jedha, Fondor, Thyferia and minus Kessel. My tactics are defensive and based on being able to always trick the AI into invading certain planets... Complicated and eccentric style

I've not played deep enough in 2.9.3 to have a good sense of this, but I can say that in 2.9.2 on the Battle for the Core map that the Empire/Rebels were usually teching up between week 10-20.

Is them not teching up until week 20 a new change? 20 feels too long, maybe week 10 makes more sense, that gives the player some time to build economy buildings and then start teching up around the same tame as the AI would start.

Update: I'm on turn 50 now, playing as the empire on hardest difficulty and the rebels have not teched up yet. The cheating bastards attack me with 18 capital ships in a single fleet no problem, but it's all techlevel 0 units.

Im on turn ~150 on expert difficulty playing as empire and the rebel AI has never teched up. And has just been spamming MC-80 Justices. Is it a bug that they have not been teching up?
I've looked at all their planets with stealth units and havent see any tech buildings at all.

Welcome to the club. Turns the game into a tiring grind.
