Well, most will not be apparent from the players point of view. But they can be very frustrating for the aspiring AI modder.

How can you say that it is understood, when none of your topics has been really discussed. Accept a few points from Master Belisarius and JLS.
I agree 100% that we have not seen many resolutions to 2-4 and 6-7. I was hoping that summarizing might lead someone to correct me if I was wrong about them being imperfections we have to live with. Or they would interject with a novel trick that would solve one of the questions.

I do not see how you think a SYS can work for the AI or most of 1-7.
Well, MB was the one that uses cloaks on his space yard ships. He also said he prefers that they not produce anything because they tend to do wierd things. Together, this clears up why he uses cloaks while others (mephisto for example) do not.

You seem to always miss quote the precipitating parties here in your thread.
All I can say is the quotes were accurate at the time I begin posting my reply. Edits after that sometimes changed the content of the original message. Also, through the detail of always putting the author at the head of each quote, you can tell I take quotation very seriously. All in all, this is a strong comment to make and it seems a little too personal.

EDIT: For example you just removed thing I quouted about teachers and students.

You do not answer some questions to be sure we understand how, why or what to do in any certain objective of 1 thru 7, just say this is not a real bad imperfection or actualy really is still broken in se4.
What do you want to know? Feel free to ask questions, I think I have gained understanding about what to do with 1) and 5) if you want me to explain more of what I learned. As I said before I still waiting and hoping for solutions to the others.

First of all, I revere and respect the experts, because only through trying this can I full understand how much effort they put into making this game better for all of us.

Yet JLS asked my opinion on whether minesweeping was feasible by the AI, so I gave it. Was I supposed to just not respond? I did feel I a little knowledge here because I had just spent some time looking into minesweeping. I was focused on this issue because an effective AI must deal with mines if it is to continue to expand or even just attack.
