AI shuts down ALL research when it reaches 'Zero Gravity Constr.'

Posted on Thursday, August 13, 2015

Hello all, I just registered after lurking the boards for a long time, simply to ask the community this: Am I the only one who has noticed that since the Ver 1.2 update a few days ago, the AI-controlled empires stop progressing tech-wise once they reach the hull augmentation techs, like Zero Gravity construction or Large Scale Construction. I love observing AI-only games, I spent more time treating this game as a cinema than an actual game ... and I'm loving it!!!!! But this enabled me also to see first-hand how every faction I tried a SOAK test with, may it be a default or a custom race, with either militaristic, technological or whatever tendencies, simply abandons all research and builds crappy Small hull ships like crazy, no matter whether they are at war or peace or their ranking in the power chart. And this goes on for seemingly forever. After around turn 600 I gave up waiting and ended the run. This is seriously game-breaking, so what has happened to my beloved GalCiv3?
