Arg, the computer keeps stealing the planets I clear of pirates >:(

from Sins Forums
I finally unallied him. Whenever I cleared a planet of pirates, he would almost instantly send a colony ship to it and colonize it before my ship got there. It gets alittle annoying when he has like 10 planets, 8 of them thanks to me for making it safe =[ While I only have 2.

The developers should add an option to disable computer allies from colonizing a planet if any of your ships are already in the gravity well. It would help alot.

are you using marauders? I find that marauders almost completely eliminate that issue.

although the point stands: freeloading AI need to be stopped.

agreed, I have come across this annoying issue a lot, as there does need to be some chack in the code that should stop this from happening, then again have an akkan in the attacking fleet that should help a bit,

You are free to do the same thing to him as well

Bad part is, he tends to take his time when clearing planets out.
Right now, no marauders. I tried setting them on once, and was out powered by around 10-20 pirates that go to my homeworld. It's a nice feature, but perhaps marauders should have an easy/normal/hard setting.

The other suggestion is to bring in the colony frigate just as you start the mop-up phase with the pirates
