Agreed, it's easy enough to work around. But seriously, why is it like that -- so you don't take advantage of the AI? Is that so important?

Arkcon,
If you are asking if it is important not to take advantage of the AI the answer is Yes and No.
It is a matter of Play Style. Many people here fight the AI with self imposed restrictions.
Some won't trade tech and others won't use Training Facilites.

Agreed. We all have choices to make. Therefore, IMHO the game doesn't need to be hardcoded to prevent anything that a human wouldn't fall for.

I am frequently, in a current game on PBW, gifting star charts and comm channels. I get nothing in return, 'cause no one has reciprocated, but I don't mind. I just want to move the game along by saving everyone explore time.

I don't believe all trades have to be "fair", against humans or AI. I just think it's dumb to have tech acquisition work one way in one case and a different way another time, is all.

I got tired of beating up the AI. I modded them, used the TDM races, etc.. just to make it tougher.

That wasn't enough!!! I had to move on to PBW for some real stress and some real losses.

Next time my woman is out of town, me and several mugs of Black&Tan are going to kick some AI butt anyway we can.

Wave-Motion Guns have +30% to-hit. As far as I know the null space do not - so I'm not sure why they would hit more.
