I am NOT looking for the best ship design.
Now that this is out of the way:
Hello everyone. As you may have guessed, I have asked this question before elsewhere and I have not gotten a satisfying answer yet.
Why should I bother with manual ship design when playing against the AI?
The AI is using auto generated ships, which have balanced weapons and defenses, right? That means I need balanced weapons and defenses as well. The automated ship design does that for me. What incentive do I have to do all that manually? And more importantly, would it be worth the work?
Once science gets going, you get new ship parts every few minutes. Going over the ship design every time that happens seems way to much hassle. There is already so much to keep track of. But if I forget to do that every once in a while, my ships become terribly outdated. Auto design does that for me.
Don't get me wrong, I juse specialized ships against spaceborn aliens. I just don't see how I can specialize my ships agains AI empires, when they use generalized ships as well.
