AI likes to crunch its own scouts

August 26, 2006 11:53 PM from

I've noticed a bit of odd AI behavior: an AI planet will produce a scout, not launch it, then the scout disappears (presumably recycled) shortly thereafter. Is the AI just using the scout to take a quick sensor peek around the planet? That seems like a cash-wasting way to do that, if that's really what is happening.
