The devs are still working on this, its part of their list of things to do. I have put the cpu on expert and increased the starting RU of the game. Try different AI stance settings like normal, dynamic or defensive among others to see if that changes things for you, it did for me. Puting the cpu on expert difficulty has definetly changed their tactics, its tough so try that. Hope this helps.

Ah.. Is there a main forum or spot where we can chat and be more helpful to the devs, this steam page is the closest i can find next to their facebook.

There isn't much we can do with the AI yet, all mods have lost the ability for the default game AI to even build ships for them. We have a list of ships and numbers for them to maintain to "brute force" them into doing something at all.

I need to do some further balance around them keeping a good income stream so that they are more challenging but until someone at GBX tells us why the AI isn't cooperating with modders anymore we're sorta stuck

The different AI strategies give them cheaper ships and shorter build times, so if you're looking for a more active opponent go for an Aggressive and Expert AI

I can't get my AI do anything. It looks like they spend their resources on a few bigger fighters and never get any mining done, so they just lay about and wait to be attacked. This is on every difficulty in any timeline on the Randomized maps and default maps. How can i fix this?

Feel free to add me mate and we can play some games against each other :)
