On several occasions I have wanted to support minors that were on my borders. They were threaten with be overrun by one or more of the majors. I first built ships to give them and once produced I gifted them with the ships. They just sat there were in the same location. Next I built ships and moved the next to their colonies and then gifted them. They just sat there and were either destroyed in place and never moved. I assumed this was just that the minor AI have not been fully developed yet. I have seen several great posts from Frogboy showing the great work in progress for the majors. I was wondering what was happening with the minors?
