In another thread, someone thought you had to leave the computer alone for a while before it started using its stellar manipulation ships.

This makes sense.

In my Last game, I loaded up a savegame, switched all the players to human control and checked out what kind of ships they had. I saw one race, the EEE, who had Resonator V's on destroyers on turn 170. By turn 220. They had seven of these ships. But I could see no evidence that they had ever used them.

I may try loading that game up and hitting End Turn 20-50 times and see if they start using them.

It would be really great if there was some way to coax the AI into building and deploying these ships against you. Maybe wait 100 turns without doing anything?
