Question

Petty Officer 3rd Class

I do bomb the planets, but the AI just doesnt care and re-colonizes them next turn. I've seen the AI re-colonize them even with multiple cruisers in orbit set to the default battle plan, i dont know how they are doing it. I really want to nerf packets because it is just way too easy to one shot colonies with them...does anyone know if theres a way to mod the game to change stuff like that?

I can see colony ships just fine on the map view but my orbiting fleets sometimes refuses to engage them.

Putting one destroyer to intercept the colony ship works most of the time, but only in the early game, if i dont do this fast enough for most of the planets in the universe, the AI will spam armed privateers and eventually warships at them and it gets WAY too expensive to put massive fleets in orbit of every planet, and i have to keep replacing them due to attrition.

Setting warships to patrol seems pointless because the AI spams more 1 ship fleets than you can intercept and they will often run of fuel or get bugged and fly to the opposite end of the universe.

I want to actually fight the AI but the AI doesnt want to fight, it just wants to spam colonizers and privateers everywhere...every game quickly degenerates into "can i setup the destroyer picket on every planet quick enough"? Narrowing the hab ranges for AI races would probably help so that they spam less colonizers, is there a way to modify their race files?
