Aye, but as it is, the AI is basically unable to surrender as it would require at minimum 40,000 points.
Surrender, I'm pretty sure, it disablable in the game settings, so it's kind of redundant and removes the choice.

PTF, you mean a fighter that can invade a planet? As long as fighters can hold cargo that should be doable, give them one cargo so they can hold a single troop. However, chances are fighters can't

Isn't AI surrender based on score ratio? I'm not sure where you get the 40,000 point figure. The problem is, that any empire with an intact homeworld probably has good reason not to surrender, and the AI's current method of scoring and therefore determining whether it will surrender is hopelessly broken by Proportions' large non-combattant (Starliners and Colony Ships) ship sizes and the ability to blockade homeworlds.

If there were a way to disable surrender by default in settings.txt, I might set that for Proportions, but relying on players to find and read instructions in my readme file to get their games to work correctly would result in many players having the wrong settings.

Fighters can't invade planets, and no units can carry other units (unless they're really Ships pretending to be units).
