amor research branch stopped?

[Gertjan]

Somehow after one or perhaps two armor research upgrades, the branch stopped? I also still have the issue that the AI doesnt use any armor in all of its designs. Two bugs?

PS the default .jpg files that you get as screenshots from the game by pressing "0" are too large to embed in the post.

Is there a saboteur mission that does that? How long has the researched been stopped?

But, considering that your AI( is it your empire's AI or the opponents' AI) doesn't use armor it's likely a bug/error.

Did you receive alot of armor techs in trades?

[forsaken1111]

Its not a bug, as far as I've seen. The armor techs don't go very far... in fact the whole tech tree is pretty small.

Can anyone confirm this please?

I ran out of techs in like 4-5 hours of gameplay, and Armor is especially short

Ok, perhaps armor is not so important in this game as I thought, since the AI does not use it in its ship designs and the tech tree is short in this regard.
