My AI is so dumb it thinks my minefields are a great place to scrap obsolete ships. ... Whoops, did I say obsolete? Make that "all ships"! LOL

My AI is not stupid ! It builds medium-size transports loaded with sweepers and removes my 100 mines with a loss of just two ship !

This is Proportion's Xi'Chung. Medium size transport has size 600, available with Destroyers and Mine sweepers have cargo ability (albeit zero).

I like trading with the AI

: in my current game I play Drushoka, have a no-event war (no contact) with the Fazrah and a Trade Agr. with Amonkrie.
So I deal with them :
1st deal : give'em a non critical civilian tech lvl 1, some rads (4000) and ask for a ship, the biggest I see is a CL, I not even can build CL yet ... Agreed, they give me the ship, along with CL tech, APB lvl 1 and another tech I've forgotten. But yes, their engines 1 suck, I have CM drive ...

2nd deal : this time I give'em more rads and a comm link to the infamous Fazrah, ask for another CL... they refuse, but offer an "unknown ship" instead ... I agree

, what do I got ? AN ICE COLONY SHIP (I was Rock ...) LOADED WITH POP !!

I love dealing with the Amonkrie ...

Situation:
Cluster Map
Bad News, I discover the Vendron (sp) on my southern flank.
(I have found this AI to be the toughest I have played against.)
Good news: We are separated by a black hole with a Damaging Warp Point leading to their space
I have an escort on a patrol that includes popping in and out of the black hole system.
What are the Vendron doing?
They have repeatedly sent fleets into the black hole system. In 30 turns, none have made it across to my space.
Lesson?
Vendron make bad Neighbors
Black Holes Make Good Neighbors of Vendron
Black Holes make wonderful Fences.

My game AI is so dumb, it just loaded a fighter on a colony ship! (thereby leaving no room for people)

Actually, it doesn't load them. This happens when the AI builds units on a planet that has no cargo left and a ship with cargo is in orbit. All "non-fitting" units will go into the orbiting ship. You can find many interesting things in ships with cargo after some time...

Just started playing a Devnull game, in a cluster sector. The Canadian's keep sending a colony ship per turn into my home sector, and I keep blowing them up. Starting next turn I begin my conquest of their silly empire.

My game AI is so dumb, it sent 6+ colony ships through a defended warp point over multiple turns.

My game AI is so dumb, it maintains a war with me(started by another AI's intel) despite having never encountered me and having a brotherly disposition towards me.

My game AI is so dumb, it keeps sending Drones equipped with Anti-Planet Warheads against my StarBASE defended warp point and rams into my base and causes NO damage what-so-ever.

It keeps doing this turn after turn... Usually they lose about 10 drones per turn thanks to their stupidness. Makes me think I'm playing against a 2 year old. But I think the 2 year old would be more of a challange. LMAO!

i suddenly feel so used.
