AI in both 2526 and Supernova... - Sends out unescorted arks with no effort to protect them, even when sending right next to hostile worlds - Takes quite a while before bothering building missile turrets on new colonies - Defends colonies with turrets ONLY, making it a breeze to simply send in marines to blow everything up and take over the colony. No anti-ground defense whatsoever. - Has no fleets. At all. - Happily sends single ships to their doom on worlds that were just assaulted by massive 20+ fleets. Does the same with arks, trying to colonize worlds that were wiped out just a few rounds earlier. - Also appears to be unrestricted by range limitations imposed by the player, sending ships extremely far into player territory with no nearby bases. Has this been your experience also?

I am not seeing the same.The A.I builds fleets and lots of different defence buildings when it has the research to do it..I do not see any cheating with range for the A.I either.Unescorted arks I do see,but I do that too.Maybe some variables in your game set up is causing it.

The AI likes to use wormholes from very early in the game so if you don't have the tech, it may seem that they show up in places they shouldnt.

Hello, I've played the first game since its release and have spent a week or so with the expansion. In my experience: * The AI builds plenty of fleets; sometimes I wonder how they can afford them so early (it's not been excessively early so perhaps they just play better) * The AI defends with ground troops and turrets and plenty of 'em - MOST of the time but NOT always. Sometimes I suppose the AI hasn't either planned that far ahead, run out of money or space. I don't count on the AI having only missile bases. Only rarely have I seen AI planets without missile bases early; those usually have been races under a lot of pressure. Maybe they're alllocating for ships? Don't have that tech yet? Or...? * The AI does seem to research wormhole technology earlier than I do and so their range is usually greater than mine. Irritating for me to see them take "my" potential colonies - though I tell myself those planets will be a good casus belli. * I have seen unescorted arks which is a failing common to many space 4x games but I wonder if their (the other races) production costs make it worthwhile to at least try colonize or re-colonize a planet. Individual ships attacking? I've seen that - but sometimes I accidentally fail to recall ships or can't. If you're seeing the opposite often, I'm at a loss to say why. It's not my experience.
