I know there is code to prevent it from refueling on hostile planets in general. It will even try to declare peace if possible. I am more thinking in terms of what a human player should do in terms of war declarations in various scenarious. The scenario that the bots fail horribly on, is during timercide, or when they get forced to join a different team. They don't check their war declarations and declare war as necessary for some reason. They only do their war declarations when they first join in, and that's it! Also, they won't take back planets that were taken by a 3rd team scummer. Declaring war on this 3rd team would be a start. But you're right, that current patch wouldn't fix anything. Furthermore, there are logic bugs in that patch in the way it is coded. Still working on it. Jimmy
