First off great game, im currently working on the "Siege" campaign mission and its been a fun filled set of personal mistakes. But after oh 5 restarts I got off to what I thought was a good start, until I recognized that the AI wasnt moving vessels. Usually within the first few years I was under attack by the Dread Lords, but this time, and reloading didnt fix it, they never left their home planet. I also noticed that despite my expiramental strategy of not colonizing the other other random planets noone else was making a run for them- all 5 of the other races stayed in their homeworld and never left- 5 years later all of them were still uncolonized with colony ships sitting in the capitals of the different races. Really an annoying bug when one wants to beat the AI, not get a free ride because of a glitch. As a note, it seemed that the other facets of the AI were still working, later on the Drainor (sp) conceded to the Yor (sp) but it was for no aparent reason. My allies continued to research techs, which I was quite happy to trade for, but noone bothered to mess with my excursions around the universe.
