Ok, CHIME me in on this issue: AI needs to learn to DEFEND better:

from Stardock Forums
Intelligent level all around.

Dreads floating around in space and their (an Arcean in this case- but ALL the AI's do this) system with 24 & 20 class planets of >15 billion people each is within striking distance of TWO of my systems and they have a WHAT defending there? A defender... C'mon. UPGRADE your fleet, AI! I turned around a war I should NOT have been able to by simply pegging their weekly defended systems all at once. When you attack it they upgrade, but not until then.

I wouldn't mind if they "humanly" overlook a few of their systems, but NO player who's "intelligent" would not guard his BEST system with something closer to the current tech availabale.

I don't know how much trouble it would be, but perhaps there could be some fleet upgrade capabilities added to the AI at higher difficulty levels.

These could allow the AI to analyze the current ships available and disband their older, less useful ships such as defenders and perhaps change their planet garrisons to battle hammers or other higher tech ship.

While they wouldn't really want to do this during a war, it would be a great thing to do during peactime and could also help their maintenance costs as they would need less ships to get the same military rating.

Yes, that would be really good.
