I am looking for AI's that are good in unconnected situations. Is there such a thing? Or are they all about the same?

I would prefer to work with the stock or TDM races, but any will do.

Whats the use of being good in "unconnected" situation?

"Not all warp points connected" tends to make a more interesting map, with more chokepoints and bottlenecks.

Yes, what I'm looking for is AI's that will research Stellar Manipulation early and get out of their home system fairly quickly, much as a human would. If such an AI exists, I would like to use it.

I have tried unconnected/young. Game play is slow, but interesting. Prefer connected.

As to the quote. If you are dead, how can you
reckon?

Inquiring minds need to know!

Eventually, the AI's will research the tech needed if they see they're cut off.

AI's that I've seen use stellar manipulation often and early are TDM Modpak races -- Pyrochette, Space Vikings, and the Drak'ol (sp?)
