Re: AI weakness
Aha,
somebody else has said, what i wanted to post here.
Another question is - have you ever been attacked outside a warppoint, or Planet???
the AI fleets are massiv standing in their system, watching you outtaking every planet. In the next turn, the massiv fleet doesn´t exist anymore - perhaps two or three ships still on the same place, the rest went elsewhere.
I have the feeling, combat only takes place for planets, the Ai tries to conquer. Combat at warppoints do only come up, if the AI-fleet is warping to the other side, where my fleet is waiting. If they see my fleet waiting on the warppoint on their siede, they won´t attack. So, what i wanna say is, that battles in most cases only are starting if i wanna do so....
I can remember a game, called "Age of wonders", where the same problems with the AI came up. With the time, there was no fun to play further.
This should be no flaming to the coders, but should be understand as a wish or tip or anything else constructive.

P.S. This game still rocks - especially with the new patch - those fighters are now really powerfull ... and if the Ai will build minesweepers it would become a real challenge.
