Also, maybe writing in deceitful trading ideas as well (if not too difficult) so you never know when to accept trades from the AI (just like a human player)
[Edit: decided an example would be good here]
For example, when trading ships with people, you rarely know what you're getting... they could strip the ship before you trade or it might even be in a black-hole system. Perhaps the AI could be written to emulate this in some way?
The AI already does that, it trades ships wich are nearly destroyed, and planets that have no population or have plagues. actually, all of the three times I traded with the AI he somehow plays one of these nasty tricks. so I stopped trading....
