I like to trade with the A.I. to get rid of junky ships that I don't want to pay maintenance on. Like outdated, worthless and damaged ships that are out of supply and stranded somewhere.

One time I deliberately built worthless, high-maintenance bases in one of my systems and traded them to the A.I. with the intention of wasting their resources by forcing them to pay a lot of maintenance. A.I. kept accepting the deals because I asked for very little in return. Even if the A.I. is too angry to accept gifts, they often accept trades if they think they're getting a good deal. This trick quickly stopped being fun because it felt like taking unfair advantage of them.
