Has anyone here had any experience with the AI controlling aspects of their empire that it has not been asked to do when in simultaneous games and the turn has not been missed? For two turns in a row now, I've had the AI override my specific orders to two ships, to the extent of turning an order to move them both to a single planet into an order to move one of the ships to the planet and then scrap it, all in the same turn. I've also had two consecutive turns where the AI has sent replies before I've had a chance to read the Messages. The only ministers turned on when this occurred where the transport minister, carrier minister, and the cloaking minister. I've had no problems in the past with cloaking or transports, so could it be the carrier minister screwing things up?
