Did I ask for help or comment? No, I did not. I played this game for hundreds of hours, probably much longer than either of you. I know what I'm doing and I know what I'm seeing the AI do. I'm not asking for help from you, I'm offering help to the developer. If you want to respond in some way, "thank you for helping make the game better" would be appropriate.
I also forgot to mention the ship movement, both on the map and in battle. It needs to be way, way more responsive. The inertia is tuned way too high. Not only does this make the game frustrating for the player, even the AI can't handle it. I happened upon a battle I wanted to join, so I clicked it. Instead of, y'know, going to it, my fleet (well, my ship) went past it, in a complete circle around it, and only then came into contact with it.
