Default Re: Request. Actually, more of a suggestion...

Like I said though, the AI now is just retarded. It seems to try to defend the wp more then it's planets, in several games I've played I come through the wp, fight a fleet on the other side, then move to the planets. As more ships are built (or come from else where)they just seem to fly straight for the wp that I came from, they make no attempt to fight me, or even defend the planet I'm poised to take from them. I've thought maybe their trying to prevent me from being reinforced, but when I have 10 ships over their planet (2 of which are transports) and they have 20+ and just continue to build up the defense of the WP. One game I even kept just ending the turn right away until they had 35 ships to my 12 and they just kept building up (while I blockaded their planet). I'll be the first to admit, I've barely played this game, but the games I have played this is what I've noticed. The AI lacks any kind of value. One of the things that was advertised heavily about this game is the moddable AI. So maybe with time and mods, this would be a nice feature for the AI to use, combined with WP it could allow multi-prong assaults on systems. Even if the AI couldn't be "forced" to use it, it would still make for some more intresting MP games.
