Asteroid AI exploit

from Sins Forums

There seems to be an AI weakness in not capturing asteroid resources.  The Explore autocast trumps the Take Asteroid autocast.  I'm playing a large game right now and my scouts are seizing astroids everywhere.  The AI and Pirates seem to ignore them to attack Planets.  So I'm raking in metals and crystals from all over without any risk.

...not an exploit, but definitely something with the AI that needs fixin'.

The AI is also very slow to research Ice / Molten colonies, and it doesn't give proper targetting priority to enemy construction frigates who may be rebuilding defences under their nose.

Hmmm, is there a general AI flaws thread?

Actually, I've brought that one up before -- the AI appears to have some kind of "build order" for its research, and needs a larger empire than is actually necessary before it will do such research, crippling its ability to colonize.

I have noticed the same thing too, before and after applying the patch. Hope it gets fixed soon!
