Minor 2.5 AI bug(ish)

I've encountered the AI creating 2 phase stabilisers in the same gravity well, that's crazy, esspecially considering how much logisitcs they take up.

I did say it was minor ^^  Wish the AI was moddable, would be something I would really enjoy tweaking.

Why is it a bug? Each gate has its own Dark Armada ability, so it's perfectly normal to have more than 1 to get more ships from the ability :P

It's not a bug. Like Annatar said, its a regular strategy for Vasari players.

it really depends on the game and map.

all games i've played so far as vasari on the beta i've never ever build any phase gates because starbases can do that now and don't take up any tactical slots.

by the time i got returning armada my fleet is usually huge and i have enough ressources to build up the 2300 supply.

 

for the time beeing i must say phase gates are useless now.

i have not tested the latest changes in beta 2.5 yet, we'll see.

Ok if you wont concede it's a bug then how about admitting the behaviour could be improved?  As currently the AI in question has 1 gravity well with 2 phase gates and 0 gates at any other planet, I've no idea if he's teched to RA.  I've played Vasari exclusively and I've never put more than 1 gate in a well, that's crazy, 1 in each at least first to make your whole system 1 hop away and you have more than enough gates for RA.
