This would be lovely. I remember one game where I had the entire Dread Lord fleet after one trade ship, stalking it constantly. It got old quick, and I would have quit the game if it wasn't for the fact my best fleet arrived in 7 turns to destroy them all.

Bump, now at 1.4. It doesn't seem quite as bad (maybe 20% less) but they're still converging and trying to futilely kill my trade ships to no avail. I'd rather they tried to concentrate on my starbases so I can get XP for them.

I stopped building Ye olde privateer back in V1.2 because of that bug. It must be an AI thing that is complex to fix, otherwise the devs would of got that one by now.
