Re: More than just \'weak\' AI?
The Balance Mod was actually started to replace stock SE:V, but unfortunately there was enough time before release for it to be integrated into the work already done at the time.

The AI is not as dumb as you think though. It does remember a number that there are enemies on the other sides of warp points and it does calculate your fleet strength and the value of your systems to see if they are good systems to attack. It also remembers the things your empire commits against them and is capable of some "diplomatic thought". Their fleets do patrol various systems and guard warp points. They do designate explorers and surveyors and they will mine and lay satellites at warp points too. Unfortunately there are still some values that need to be tweaked and designs to be improved to exploit their abilities further.
