Not quite... the ships were there originally to do a recon on the planet with a "don't get hurt" order, and you guys already know what happened from my first post in this thread (the ships ran to different corners, a few got killed). The next turn I changed the order to "maximum range" and tried to get them out, but the AI obviously thought it could have a go at the planet and win... how dumb!

Well actually, I think I DID give them an attack order to get them in in the first place... still, the AI's fault!!

Well, I don't want to offend you but the AI only did what you ordered.
As it entered with the "don't get hurt" it ran for cover as it should. Then you changed order to attack from maximum distance and they did attack the planet from maximum distance. There is nothing wrong with the AI, just bad orders.

Yea I admit that, but it was just plainly stupid for a fleet of ships to run for different corners. Still the AI's fault!

Let's just say that the AI does follow orders, but sometimes it has a funny idea of HOW to follow the orders.

my feelings on this one is that I do not even trust the AI to colonize the planets I want. Let alone control the most important aspect of the game. It is a big hole in the game that needs to be fixed. When it is fixed I will be dancing in the streets.
