Constructor AI bug still here

from Stardock Forums
I built a starbase on a resource about 5 turns before the first Torian constructor got there. Its about 12 turns later and 16 more Torian consturctors are still headed for my starbase. The Torian AI is Average. Those ships should have turned around and gone elsewhere the turn after the resource was taken. :(

Is it possible to issue a warning that a resource my constructor was heading to was taken by an AI? An pop-up box with an option to either Continue or Disengage auto-pilot would be nice. :)

Sometimes the AI ship, either constructor or colony ship, will just sit there for the entire game if you get grab the target location before the AI ship arrives.

That's an old bug that may have been partially fixed. The Torian constructor ships are now arriving, find a starbase and turning around. Its not unique to the Torian AI, the Alterians have 10 constructors on the way, in a straight line, 1 behind the other, spread out over 4 sectors.

That's why I like my suggestion, if a constructor has a resource as its destination, and that resource disappears, whether AI or player, auto-pilot disengages.

I like the idea of disengaging the autopilot on constrcutors IF the resource was takent by ANOTHER race (just to make sure this suggestion is absolutely clear).
