For instance I ping a target to attack or defense. The AI player has a entire fleet at his disposal but just camps at his planet.Did you actually pick one of his units and issue him orders, or just use a map ping?
I never knew you could issue his units orders, I just ping what planet I want him to attack/defend. I assumed since he replied with "right away or acknowledged" that he was going to follow orders. So that puts a end to that issue, but what about the AI not rebuilding frigates? I watched it the entire match, after the enemy destroyed one of their frigates on his home planet. He did not care to build a new one or make new units.
