Just having a look at your latest Gaim _AI_Research file - and if I'm understanding it correctly, I have some problems with it. (Please don't take this personally - it's just that the Gaim are the side I've come to know the best)

You have Ballistics research listed only once (and only to level 7 at that), well beyond Battleship tech so for most of the game the Gaim ships will be pouring out with Packet Torpedoes I as their primary weapon. You list Gaim Mega Weapons to research - there are currently no Gaim Mega Weapons. Why are the Gaim spending all that time research Laser, Pulse, Plasma etc when they don't use those weapon families. Why are Matter Weapons researched to level 10?

The Gaim should be concentrating their offensive research into Gaim Tiny/Light/Medium/Heavy, Particle, Ballistics, Point Defence, Ship Capture and possibly Explosives. Some Matter (level 7 at most) and General Tiny covers the troops, while Matter (up to level 4) or Particle and a couple of levels in General Light/Medium/Heavy cover their early weapon requirements before they can research up to Gaim Heavy.
