AI Spamming Scouts (Sins 1.51)

So I just started a game against an Unfair AI (1 v 1) and about 30 minutes in a fleet of 4 Disciples (Light Frigates) and 13 Seeker Vessels (Scouts) attacks. Safe to say I had no problem but does anyone else have this happen?

I'm all for the AI spending half of its income on ships but a fleet with 13 scouts that don't even participate in the combat (that's right, they just sat there) is a bit of a waste.

I noticed it in one of my games. I don't actively look for it however so maybe it occured more for me.

 

The difference is for me it occured several hours in, at max fleet cap stage and the guy had about half of his fleet composed of scouts. (Was an unfair TEC Rebel iirc)

The AI do this somewhat often late game, have been for a while, not sure why.
