AI needs to be MUCH more aggressive

[Dr Strangelove]

A major problem I've noticed with the AI is its inability to properly deal with black hole systems. I've seen aggressive AIs waste their entire offensive strength trying to cross a black hole to get to me. It's true that sometimes I've been able to use a black hole system to get at an enemy by giving my ships sufficient armor and carefuly plottting the move to get across in as few turns as possible, but the AI doesn't seem to be able to do this. Has anyone tried editing out all blackholes just to seee if the performance of the AI improves?
