What tech does the AI not use and why?

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.

The one exception to stellar manipulation is a create planet ship. The AI seems to do a pretty good job of creating planets and colonizing them.

I have had pretty good luck getting the AI to use troop transports to capture enemy planets. It seems to be much better under Gold than it was before.
