Re: AI State.
The most common AI state is Defend (Short term). As long as there are some enemy (or none treaty ships) nearby the AI will remain in this state (over simplified). Sometimes the AI switches to Attack or Prepare to Attack, but those stages do not Last very long.
I have seen some AI files make more differences between the AI states in research, but IMHO it does not make any big difference, since the AI spends aprox. 90% of its time in Defend (Short). So it is probably not worth the extra effort.
Defend (Short term) really should be viewed as "Infrastructure" IMHO.
