Re: Some AI questions

[b]1) Yes. I've seen it use fleets of 9+ ships, but not as a human being would. That is, they all tend to be highly similar warships, while a human player might instead include supply tankers, repair/shipyard ships, minesweepers and a different mix of warships types.
Yes, the AI is using fleets, I have fought against 20+ ship fleets.
2) Hrm. Haven't yet. Maybe w/ hard AI/high bonus in a no-warp it will. Have you tried giving an AI an unarmed ship with a warp-point creator? One with no other function, that is, so it can't mistake it for, oh, a mere pop transport.
The AI has the design files for it but it is very slow to reasearch stellar manipulation if it ever researchs it.
3) Haven't seen this, on medium/no bonus. I have seen it build troops, oddly enough (very very rarely but it's happened), but never an invasion. OTOH I play aggressively enough that the AI is normally on the defensive, and w/ solar collectors/QRs most battles are normally deep in AI territory.
Never seen invasion, too.
