how do i get my faction to stop building ventures?
« on: July 04, 2021, 11:13:14 PM »

I got a blueprint package with good cruisers & want my faction to focus on cruiser warships, except you start the game off with the venture (which is marked as a warship despite being a civilian grade freighter/carrier with surveying equipment IE its a dedicated exploration vessel not a warship), and I cannot get my fleet doctrine to select ANY large ship except ventures. Literally, max ship size max ship quantity all warships & I just sit and spam the regenerate button and its just ventures ventures ventures. Was the XIV blueprint wasted -- the AI will just never, ever, ever use an eagle over the civilian freighter-carrier when prompted for a cruiser warship?

Noticed the same thing today.
Since the little fleet display is pointless without heavy industry, it might be good to overlay it with "Heavy Industry Required" or something.
Guess what, I'm stupid too. There is a notification before you even get to see your blueprints explaining this.  :-X

It's not pointless, as your choices still change which ships to use. It's just without an industry they're stuck to the universal blueprints.

Also, some people in core worlds can let you order ships using your blueprints, so getting them before building your own Heavy Industry is not a total waste.
