Master Belisarius I humbly disagree. Even if the AI does not use them as efficiently as an experienced human player, I think the performance with mines, allegiance subverter is quite good at least with some modified races.
If you let the AI research medicine and include a medical bay in the population transport ship design, he will cure plagues quite well.
Boarding parties IMO are not very interesting even for human players. They can be rendered ineffective be the self destructing device and even if successful you usually board a severely damaged ship!
Steller manipulation especially warp point manipulation I agree with you. But even there I saw sometimes the AI use star destruction and planet creation in a reasonable way.
