Playing against the AI is essentially cheating, as pretty much anything you come up with will not be counterable by the inept AI... Especially in sequential (default) movement mode. You should always play in simultaneous movement mode. The AI _always_ plays as if it was in simultaneous movement mode, so it can not exploit the gaminess and such of sequential movement as a human can. At least level the playing field a little bit...
Jeez...I must REALLY suck.
I still find the AI to give me a challenge depending on the settings I start with. Right now I'm playing an AI game in non-connected clusters (not all WP connected) and am hesitant to leave my home cluster. I had an AI warp in and that lead to a 50 turn war in which I never entered his territory and only stopped when I closed the WP. First time I tried this game setup I was housed with another AI in my cluster and he beat me to a pulp before turn 20

Gandalf - I'm confused as to what you are doing with the Sat's, can you elaborate?
