AI late game Ship Designing problems (turns 100+)

Yes, it is true that the problem is mainly in the hard coded AI as it will not resupply its ships until it has reached its objective.
I'm just trying to find a way to get around of this problem by adding quantum reactors to colony ships. I know they are expensive and all but in my test games there are literally dozens of AI colony ships which have an ETA of 200+ turns. This seriosly damages AI's expansion in huge galaxies and is a real strain on it's economy. I think that by adding Quantum reactors the AI would expand a lot faster (in late game). This would ofcourse be only a temporary solution to the problem, atleast until Malfador decides/has time to correct this.
