I have to disagree with you on that. I use smaller ships to fill out my fleets now that the patch has made making money harder. If the AI is limited, then you are limited also. Besides, would this then limit the amount of Indiamen that you could produce also? Early game, small fleets is all you can afford.

The problem is in the attempt to make the game more challenging, the latest patch has caused all parties but the player to remain poor. The player starts with the same disadvantages (or worse) but eventually works his/her way out of it.

A disband "check" by the AI would be better.
