SE V - berserk AI in PBW

[Millipede]

In the PBW game I'm participating in, the AI has taken over my last two turns. My orders have been submitted prior to the deadline and the game log shows this. After the 1st incident, I uninstalled SE V and started from scratch including fresh downloads of the 1.25 patch and BM v1.03. I've also checked my minister settings repeatedly and they haven't changed from "maintain defensive locations". No joy! The nitwit AI usurped the next turn anyway. Some of it's wonderful decisions include; redirecting all of my research and intell ops, refitting all my construction bases to lesser capabilities, ignoring my movement orders and inserting it's own bizarre ones, (my favorite) canceling one of my non-agression/trade pacts and the list goes on.

Has anyone else seen or heard of this happening elsewhere? What in the world am I doing to cause this? All thoughts and suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
