...not an exploit, but definitely something with the AI that needs fixin'.The AI is also very slow to research Ice / Molten colonies, and it doesn't give proper targetting priority to enemy construction frigates who may be rebuilding defences under their nose.Hmmm, is there a general AI flaws thread?
Actually, I've brought that one up before -- the AI appears to have some kind of "build order" for its research, and needs a larger empire than is actually necessary before it will do such research, crippling its ability to colonize.
