Stock Armada II AI Transporting Crew Issue

[Rifraf]

In stock A2 the AI at the start of an IA game recrews their starbase to the minimum yellow alert level or 50% of max crew. The Borg are the only race that sits their 2 construction ships and scout there to beam crew over to the base then sits another few minutes beaming crew from the scout to 1 of the con ships over and over before finally starting. Has anyone noticed this? Any ideas what would cause only one race to do it? Their race odf doesn't have anything too different from the other races so I'm stumped.

Hello:
Well, the Borg Scout is the only one with 30 crewmembers instead of 10, maybe that might be a reason.

Hmm. Maybe. I'll try reducing crew to match the other scouts. Thanks for the tip. In Thunderfoot's old thread here at MSFC about his ImpSPCam 2.0 mod he mentioned the same issue. His post said he fixed it, but looking through his mod files I don't see much changed that would be related.

I maybe wrong but I think there is a line of code that tells the computer when to "recrew" their ships and stations. It maybe in Borg.odf If not you might look in "The big book of modding" you may find your answer there.

I have all the races set the same for baseline testing so the Borg don't have anything set differently. I checked their construction ship, I've checked the techtree, I've varied my build lists and I cannot see a reason for this strange behavior with the Borg? I wonder if the devs accidentally have something hardcoded differently with the Borg? I may never figure this one out.
