Default Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent

I have a complaint about "random ship teleportation" event. It is an innocuous event by itself, gives a lot of fun to humans and has no effect on AI in connected games. BUT, in non-connected it can wreck a total havoc on AI. Example: Terrans are usually robust AI with respect to stellar manipulation and colonization. However, in my latest game, terran vessel has been teleported to another AI system with open warp point. I am not sure what happened next, but I suspect Terrans switched from "non-connected" to "explore" state. They have steller manipulation ship buil but it does nothing. They also have two idle Rock colony ships and refuse to build any Ice colony ships despite having several colonizable planets in home system. Terrans are in complete mental block. I' pretty sure it is because they can see unexplored open WP but can not reach it. AI routine is completely confused. (i can send savegame file to anyone interested)
