You need a massive score advantage, the threshold in the AI's Anger files, IIRC. ISTR that they also never offer to you; you have to explicitly ask them to surrender. With a big enough score (say, in a no-warp-point game with an uberfleet...) you can get even a non-neutral AI to surrender without firing a shot, or without you knowing where they are (if somebody gave you the comm channel, for instance).

If they refuse, you just need to raise your score and lower theirs...
