Instar, you continue to hang onto misconception like a rabid pitbull, don't you? Allow me to quote one of your fellow beta testers (oh, wait, that's all of us!)

ok,
There is a "misunderstanding" goign on about the patches I think. Currently the patchs are for things that are broken. It is possible that AI improvements may be included but I don't think that is the main focus. There are Posts that others have made showing small changes made to the AI files that improve them. You may want to consider using them untill we can get to the AI.

Does this not say, "we don't think there is anything really wrong with the AI and if you want it to work, fix it yourself"? I have combed the Shrapnel site head to toe and I cannot seem to find on the SE IV page a disclaimer: "AI: some assembly required". Then again, I never could find anything that warned the buyer, "Not intended for single-user play", or "Pardon our dust... game under construction", but that never stopped anyone from charging full price. An AI patch shouldn't be necessary, but it is.
