ORIGINAL: 2ndACR The AI will replace/upgrade items for a 1 for 1 basis. So the basic life support and you have 3 on a destroyer, the next upgrade you only need 2 of them, yet the AI will leave 3 on there. The AI will upgrade items like this, but it is not clear if he designs his own ships this way. Upgrading items on a piece-by-piece basis does tend to result in functional overlook of this sort, though, such as upgrading crew parts, or upgrading reactors, where a ship might have formerly needed two or more reactors to meet requirements, when now a single reactor is sufficient to replace multiple reactors. Given the stigma associated with ground bombardment, it seems unclear whether ground bombardment weapons are useful under ANY conditions.
