Gold AI doing some bad things

[Atrocities]

While playing my latest game, I have ran into some strange things. I switched each of the AI controled players, one at a time, to human control.

What I observed was frightening. Cloaked ships trying to colonize planets. AI sending colonizers to planets that have already been colonized. Ai not avoiding systems that I had marked as avoid, and also marked as "ship should not pass thru."

These AI issues are troublesome to say the least. I will bet money that they will eventually cause RCE's.

A new problem is when I deactivate the Politica and Intel ministers, they still remain active. I am stumped on this one.

AI is also building WP on planets with no room. The AI does this repeatedly. (A clear all Que's button in the Que window would be a nice feature for a patch.)

The Romulan, (Xaiti AI) Very aggressive and colonizing methodically. Love to try and recolonize planets. 1st place.

The Klingons, (Jraenar AI) Not so aggressive, love to try and colonize planets while cloaked. 2nd place.

The Borg. (Krill AI) The Borg are growing, but slower than the Romulans or Klingons. attempt to over supply a planet. 3rd place.

The Federation STGN (Abbidon AI) Same as Borg. 4th Place.

Ferengi in 5th (CueCappa AI) same as Borg groth ok.
Son'a in 6th (Norak AI) Growth is horrible. Same as Borg on trying to over supply planets.

I'd say these are most likely problems with the mod you are playing and not problems with the SE4 default AI.

I haven't seen these issues with the TDM Gold game I'm currently playing.

IIRC this is just a problem if you switch the race over to human player, AI controlled. The minister decloaks usually before colonizing. Or has it happened to have been changed ?

Edit: I guess the behaviour/actions of the AI under human observation is not the same as without.

I've seen AI in different mods make desings violating max egines or with 2 space yard components.

I've put the 'one per vehicle' restriction on spaceyards in my mod and the AI still puts two spaceyards in a BSY before going on to add repair bays. Frustrating.

Doesn't the AI ignore the "one per vehicle" restriction?
