New mode of pirate attacks

I just noticed something that got sneaked in this build. The pirates will now attack all around your periphery, even if they have to go through other races planets to do so. I've seen them go through 4 other planets to get to one of my backwater planets that would have been ignored before. Normally, I would just defend the planets that are closest to the pirates base and not have to worry about other planets well back. Not now. The devs didn't mention this in the log. Or, I just didn't see this behaviour in previous versions, but I don't think I would have missed something like this.

hm, not sure. but incidentally, I did find the pirates much more trouble than in older builds. they did attack planets that were not the closest, but the least defended, but in those games it was never really any serious detour. if it is indeed changed, I like it. btw, there was no change log or otherwise complete list of changes for entrenchment as far as I know, only for the hotfix.

It is not really Pirate related but more AI related...

With each new version, the AI seem to be more Intelligent... since the AI control all non human player, sure that it control the Pirate too...
