AI War Beta 5.047-5.049 Archived Memory

From the 5.050 release notes

Spire Shield Guard Posts (the normal ones, not the Core ones), in honor of tying for second in our first "Aim The Nerfbat (AI-Side)" poll, have had their health changed from 56M*mk => 28M*mk.

    Galactic Sandpaper Incorporated has already filed for bankruptcy.
    Thanks to the poll participants for the feedback.

That's a good deal less than the AI forcefields (which are about 42M*mk*). Are you sure you want to nerf it that much?
Still, even at about half health, they still have more HP than human forcefields (20M*mk)

Also, I don't get the sandpaper joke. 

* When looking this up, I discovered that the AI forcefields did not get adjusted to the proper 2.something ratio from the last balance pass of human forefields, thus AI forcefields have sort of a weird Mk progression

I could cut the Tiger down to 1.5, but the whole self-attrition thing does cut a lot into their potential usefulness in an AI wave.

At that volume they don't need to be useful for long.  1.6 on tigers (only) would be a reasonable adjustment, being 2x the bomber multiplier.

Raid SSs + Bomber SSs vs Spireshield Post on AI Eye world = Sandpaper snoozefest.
