Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
I've seen the TDM Sergetti use Massive Planetary Shield Generators.

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
I've seen the default AI use stellar manipulation as well as unique facilities. They can be modded to use pretty much everything else except:
Master Computers (properly)
Remote resource extractors (they can put them on ships, but they just won't use them)
Build ringworld & sphereworld components (not that the AI ever reaches the point at which it's reasonable anyway)

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
The Dominion Imperium gold AI uses some of these techs , like computer virus & allegiance subverters and boarding crews on boarding ships ( a really nasty combination) . it places MCs on ships to stop allegiance subverters, It also builds System gravitational shield facilties

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
The only racial facility that AI should never use is Crystalline' solar collection plant: AFIK, there is no way to make AI to build them in binary/trinary systems only. Any attempt to insert SCP into AI construction files will greatly impede productions in standard systems. 
BTW, how solar plant works in limited resources game ??? It output does not depend on planet values (I think) but does it deplete planet resources and if yes, will it stop working at the end ?

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
A better quesion would be:
What tech is the computer player (CP) fairly ineffective at using?
Sure, the CP will use Stellar Manipulation ships but it doesn't use them very well. Another example of a tech the CP doesn't use very well is Troops.

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
The TDM United Flora are using the Talisman on me, so that is a good sign for AI effectiveness.
