jowe01,

If you look at either the default_ai_settings file or any specific race's ai_settings file you will find two important lines that can help you.

1.Turns to Wait until next attack := 5

This line governs how many turns the ai waits to attack again. Set this number to one for aggressive and warmonger races and for peaceful races set it to 4.

2.Maximum Systems to Defend at a Time := 3

This line governs how many systems will have warships/fleets in them at any time. This number has been played around with some people you can check past Posts for more details. For aggressive/warmonger races set this to five. For peaceful races set it to 3.

With these two lines you can have the ai defend more systems and attack more often. Not a complete hard coded fix, but it will help you in your games for now.
