The title says it already. So far in my games, the AI has refrained from using armour in its automated designs of my ships. I suppose this is a bug?

AI is designing ships with armour for me. In fact it's putting lots of armour on my ships - about 10 pieces per ship.

So far I've only played Zenox and they do not use armor, instead stacking shields.

Zenox have an excuse because of their (powerful!) shield unit. I've seen situations where my ships shields have been regenerating faster than incoming fire, greatly annoying the pirates harassing them :D

They have an excuse not to use armour?! I think it might be important to have at least one armour component...just in case the shields fail...

Armor isn't very useful in normal situations though. You're better off with another shield because it recharges.

Better armor might just be better for the times you have to fight off space creatures, since they seem to ignore shields.

That's a good point. Having a fleet dedicated to big game hunting that has substantial armour and little shielding would be a great idea
