Help for a Moron AI (fleet problem)

[Emperor's Child]

I've been fiddling around with the AI whilst getting my Gold Version of the Slaanesh ready to go, and found the AI acting like an idiot with regards to fleet management. Now I know that the AI ain't no brain surgeon, but it is frustrating to see the AI produce six fleets of one ship each and not try to assimilate the stray dogs and cats into a larger, more effective fleet.

I suspect that the problem is that the AI creates a new fleet if the number of existing fleets is lower than the number of "Div 1" fleets defined in the AI_Fleet.txt file, and does so even if there are other fleets present.

Has anybody else seen this happen to them?
