Transport hulls or not, AI should include troop transports in fleets. It might be a problem before but currently I did not see any problems with fleeting troop transports based on transport hulls

Yes Oleg, we agree 100%.

The AI should put a standard troop transport into a fleet, but the larger cargo space (taking longer before it is sufficiently full, or being pulled out to load some more troops in a nearby system), and slower speed will cause some problems.

Just take a speech file that you like and add Arr! to the end of of each line. "Mineral planets are the best. Arr!"

M. Belisarius : I run under W2k.
If you can explain to me how you run your automatic tests, I'll be interested.

Until now, I put the race on full AI, and press the next turn key, looking at little ships moving here and there. It's...deadly boring.
And the AI keep on asking me stupid questions such as "Master, what type of colony should I build on this planet ? -You idiot, build a disneyland colony, it will increase happiness in the neigbourhood." or "Master, there are ennemy ships on my way, should I bLast them ? -"Surely not, you've built these 20 warships just for parade, don't you remember that, moron!"

Perrin : Lol. JLS is working on a better speech file, I think !

Others : My troop ships are too big, I'll have to limit their size to small transport, or it takes too much time to fill them with troops, and when there are ready to fight, there is no ennemy colonny left !

You can get rid of this question. In the empire status window under empire options uncheck "display select colony type dialog when colonizing". The AI will then follow your orders from the planet_types-file.

Sorry... but the SE4 Batch program doesn't work with W2k.

Well, you could use the Rexxx advice... or run your AI in simultaneous games.
