Maybe it is but this a important subject....i think that the AI is faultly and doesn't know when to end somtimes... and i havn't been able to prove it yet because the other races eventually got mad at me declared war and erridacted me... Custom starships kinda suck right now...well i havn't financed in the right areas..Even normally good civs IE:the Atlantarians Hated me and declared war i think its because AI is still crap but its better i suppose At least they can do somting and no diplomacy can save you from utter destruction in GC1 when it was realased somtimes civs that kinda hated you they would pop-up on the screen and say hey give us some goods and we won't hurt you such as money, money+a tech, Even starsystems when it arose to star systems there basicly saying were aborbsing your empire whither u like it or not....i type alot...
