Wow! I haven't tried playing against all the AI's yet. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be. I don't think I'd give the AI any bonus in such a game.

If it were me, I would probably research mines and mine the heck out of my borders. Meanwhile, I would research warp closing technology. But I wonder if you would have sufficient mineral output to pay the maintenance on a Stellar Manipulation ship?

I tell you what would be cool... I've never seen the AI build any warp closing or opening ships. It would be cool if in a you vs. all AI game that the AI started building them much, much sooner.

I could have sworn that one of the beta-testers told me he saw the AI using warp opening ships against him. But all I've ever seen are planet creation ships.
