AI Behaviour in Campain ?

Subject:
Drath AI building Defenders without anything + overall stupidity in the first Campain Mission.

I started to play the DA Campain and run into a oddity in the first mission right away...

The Goal is to take out the Drath on the map. The bad thing is - they seem not to be intersted in resistin at all - which makes it quite boring...

Other than the Battleship they had from the start on (which was happily obliterated by the battleship i also had from the start) i not have seen a single Drath warship. They keep produce constructors and launch them with my battleship right next to they planet - pretty sensless.

But the really-really odd thing are they defenders. They have no Weapons and no Defences at all. A ZERO in all 3 weapon categories.

I am Playing on Tough, which is not the lowest difficulty. Is this Normal ???

I assumed the first mission would be kind of easy - it's usually so in campains, but this behavior seems just ridiculos to me...

If the AI can't/doesn't want to pay for a ship that actually has a chance of stopping invaders, it will field empty hulls simply to act as speed bumps (cheap and maintenance free). You'll still have to waste a move knocking them out all the same, and that may buy the time for a nearby fleet to come to the rescue, if they have any.
