This is truely terrible, as there is very litte difficulty to begin with, even on 'Tough' difficulty, but now the computer has started building ships without weapons. The last planet I attacked was guarded by five ships all with shields but with no weapons altogether. At first I though it was a bug that wasn't allowing the enemy ships to fire. It's simple enough to tell the AI to build all ships with at least one attack in some area, what is the point of having shields or armor without something to retaliate with. It's not like ships can escape combat!
