If sensor range was actually limited and you didn't automatically know everything about a system just by being in it the AI would have much more chance to surprise you.

It would also give birth to more strategy. "Do I conserve supplies and run straight past his planet, or do I sneak and skulk around the edges?" It would be nice to have, say, a three-sector sensor radius for planets, two for ships/sats/etc.
