I want drones

The AI is strategically incompetent. I recently spent way too much time creating an AI mod. The AI players in this game are really unable to prosecute a war effectively. The movements of the AI fleets are truly pathetic to behold.

This game could be so much more that it is with the addition of better core AI routines. The AI needs to have better target selection. The AI needs to have some concept of defense. The AI needs to have an overall strategy govern it’s actions.

The AI mods that I made cause the AI to expand rapidly and build massive fleets. Once the AI has these massive fleets, it does not have a clue what to do with them! My AI can roll over the other AI players (eventually), but I think that a human would still find them greatly lacking. I sure do.
