I know there's a nice AI mod out there, I just want to make sure the dev team sees this. The AI is really not tactical at all, they build the wrong stuff and make capturing/destroying their shipyards and planets easy. I don't see upgrades on existing ships or a tech race when war is raging. Also, fleet composition is very important when it comes to stack combat, further more pressure, the AI don't apply pressure as it should.
Now I feel the best examples of this is Master of Orion 2 and Sid Meier's Civilization IV. Civs IV also had stack combat but they kept you thinking, forced you to keep eyes on them to see where they move their armies. The information war was just as important. Please fix this, AI is what will make or break this game from this point on forward, make them clever and dangerous and this game will feel challenging and keep you going.
Thanks for reading guys.
