I beg to differ on this one. Not that I call it cheating, and the AI needs all the help it can get, but the AI is capable of 2 things (that I can recall) that humans are not.
1)The AI can see planetary defenses with out visiting a planet. (ie. they know you have multiple weapons platforms on a particular planet and will not attack it until their forces can defeat it)
2)The AI can give a "join x fleet" order and we have to stop the fleet for any ship to catch up. This particular one bugs me as we should be able to give a "join x fleet" order if it is possible (which it obviously is)
