Summary0023762: AI empty waves - no exogalactic strikes
DescriptionI started playing against a Royal AI difficulty 8 and I kept getting 0 strength waves and no exogalactic fleets when hacking ARCs and similar, even if the message was appearing.
I tried increasing AIP to 400 and then to 5000 and I got empty waves again, plus I used the command to max out the wave budget and still, I was getting empty waves. I tried manually increasing the wave budget but I kept getting an error (see screenshot).
Is having empty waves inteded?
I don't have time right now, but later today I'll check with other AIs to see if there are similar problems.

I tried also with Swarmer and Quadratic AI, getting the same results. Discussing it on discord, it seems to be something related to the budget spending of the AI.

yes, I tested it out.

Beta has the problem, most recent stable doesn't have it. All AI types are potentially impacted so this is a general problem, not a specific AI-type one.

Using insta waves cheat command show that the AI doesn't stay at max wave budget but spend it, as the next insta waves command will add the same amount of budget than before (like 3000-4000 rather than 0 if it got stuck at max)

Reconquest waves are also impacted. They are sent at 0 strength, with no Usurper or any unit in the wave.

Okay, thanks for checking this out -- this is definitely something that I must have messed up in all of the code refactoring of the last few versions. Will investigate.
