		I have no doubt that the AI will be formidable. I just saying that the more complex you make the game, the harder it will make be to create a good AI. Granted that in a battle the computer runs both fleets (simultaneous game) so its computer vs computer.

		many of the options that are being added involve things that will make the AI more controllable (stratigies and fleet options). 
 
Other things being added are a more robust scripting system for AI. 
 
So not only should the game be a nicer "environment" for the AI -- contrary to your suggestion about more options hampering it -- but the AI should be flat out "better". 
 
but what do I know.  maybe it will suck, and we should all giveup on it.

		Are you saying that we've all been mislead, that the game is no good and we should not buy it?

		Isn't that better though than post-release panic, or maybe even, pre-mature-release panic..?

		Yeah, I'm just saying that a lot of these statements are predictable and we should wait for the game bbefore we overreact.

		I've talked to 'Dr. Doom,' he says to pull the plug on it now before any permanent damage can be done. Before the AI can self-destruct and before the aliens catch on. We need to work fast on this!
