Do AI Use Terror Stars?

I would love to hear what you guys playing the beta have to say about Terror Stars and the AI.

1. Do the AI Races build and use the Terror star frequently?
2. If yes do they use them wisely?
3. Have you ever got a vital star system destroyed by the AI?

Waiting with great interest to hear your replies

I've seen the AI make a TS, but I haven't yet see them use it beyond driving around the universe with it. I blame a lot of that on my beta testing being done on lower end difficulty settings though.

Unfortunately, my current game had the UP vote to ban TS completely.

can you leave the UP and then make one?

I haven't tried it, but leaving the UP should work, if you want to build one with a ban in place.

Also, the devs have said that they're working first on getting the new racial techs into the game, and the AI polishing and game balancing will be done just before release. So we're not seeing the AI optimized for using the new toys yet.

Aye, I saw the Torians just wandering aimlessly in theirs when I played. If you are going to be moving at 1ps/week, at least beeline to your destination, don't sightsee. I mean, damn, he wasn't anywhere near an inhabited system along the edge of the map...then it just stopped dead and never moved again.

Hmm ok, Thanks for the update. I look forward to see the TS in Alien use after the release
