Played SE IV long ago, and considering SE V.

Isn't SE4 the same way? All the AI does is amass ships and pseudo-randomly throws them around the map at all of its enemies. It doesn't really have any long term planning, and frequently redirects fleets sent against an enemy in the west to an enemy in the east, before they reach the destination.

True, SE4 did suffer some from some of that. However, it was far less noticeable in SE4; the AI moved its ships around more( and further, it seems to me; I've never seen an AI fleet in SE5 more than one, max two systems away from one of its colony-systems ) and there was no fog of war in to cripple the AI either. Granted, the fog of war in SEV can be turned off.
