In my current game private sector stopped building freighters.
I did some tests with different freighter designs to see if i can notice where's the problem and here's what i've noticed.
My private economy has 1,4 million available. I designed a bare bones basic small freighter with one of each mandatory module. I also made all more advanced small freighter design obsolete so they are not taken under consideration by the AI. What happened was the AI almost Immediately built 477 basic small freighters and had 500k credits left in private sector. Okay, so what i did next was, i loaded a save from a few game months back and designed a slightly better version of small freighter. It was a little bit more expensive, around 20%, than the bare bones version. What happened was, the AI almost Immediately built 479 small freighters and had around 300k credits left in private sector. Seems to me that the AI is calculating how much ships it need now, and it waits until it has enough credits to order 100% of its demand and when it has credits to order ALL of them, it floods shipyards with ship orders.
Cannot attach my save, max allowed size is 10 MB but after zipping my save its 13,9 MB.
