So no, they wouldn't.
Bah, I get it now. I did mention it was *only* for the Ancient Empire earlier, but not in another post where I re-stated that idea.


I'm not sure I see much of a way to help the regular AI, really. You might consider allowing them to cheat with regards to this particular problem, though that would require yet another AI-only trait. Since I doubt the AI is going to make intelligent decisions, you could make the Ancient Warp Openers re-usable... *when* in the hands of the mundane AI, and not for the Ancients or the human players.

Basically, make an AI-only racial trait in addition to the Ancient-only racial trait, with Ancient-only allowing to build the Warp Opener ship (making the component restricted to said vessel). So, the regular AI cannot *build* Warp Openers on their own, but they could research them, and hence repair them. The human players cannot do any such, of course. You may be able to achieve the same with clever ship-building AI files; I have no clue about the AI scripts.

Hmm, it's getting complicated, and I'm not sure you like the thought of the AI-cheating anyhow. That, and the human players could benefit from it, if the AI starts doing too much opening.
