Terran AI makes too many SV against Zerg #38

Hi, thank you for your work. I had a lot of fun playing against this AI. It seems that Terran AI makes too many (I counted 18 and more) Science Vessels against Zerg.

What do you think would be an appropriate cap? I certainly like lots of vessels in TvZ. You should probably be using Scourge or other tactics to keep the vessel count down. :smiley:

I also like lots of vessels, but AI seems to badly micro manage them. It owns 18 SV, so should do a lot of damage, but in reality it is just flying them around the map and using Irradiate inconstantly. I watched few TvZ (AI vs AI) matches - in the end Terran left only with dozen of SV and despite this lost. Overall it looked like economy waste to me.

That makes sense. I can't do much about the poor vessel micro, but I have lowered the vessel cap to a more reasonable 12 to help with this behavior.
