the exo wormhole on your own planet can only mean one thing: You're playing against a Backdoor Hacker AI type. He can send waves to your homeworld at all times. It's tough, but definitely winnable. There are a lot of harder AI types out there :P Try out the Raid Engine AI type for fun, see what it does :P

Red name AIs are particularly scary and dangerous. Their tech levels start off high.
I say if you're just playing around with the game anyway, go for it eventually.

Run actions that will have big impacts by the other players. Don't go hacking or taking planets without making sure that it's not only a good decision, but that other players feel that they can handle it.

I see makes sense anyways =P so with the increase in players, that makes the Ai harder right? should i be making my homeworld really defendy like, and how do you scout actually XD i was always wondering if i have been doing it wrong, i dont know if theres some weird way to scout farther then 2 hops away from you because my scouts die before being able to get to far away
Unless thats how its suppose to be i was unsure =P

There are some tricks for scouting further, like taking out the Tachyon Guardians on each planet, or sending your scouts in transport ships (Be warned, transports apparently alert literally everything on the planet). I'm sure other people can give you a bit more info on that, but all I ever really do is snipe off Tachyons.

Re: The AI's strength, you should defend your planet the same way you usually do, since generally speaking the waves will be distributed across all the players and the AI won't necessarily send a dominating force to your home planet. Granted, it can, but if you didn't get a proper defense up then you can force your friends to help you instead! Teamwork!

combine scout starships with regular scouts. Maybe even unlock mk II scout starships. Use group move to make sure they all travel with the same speed (g+click on the galaxy map or g+control+click on a wormhole when on planet view) and they'll get much further.

Also, Raid Engine IS one of the red AI types :P I somehow managed to beat it on dif 7 a long time ago, but I wasn't easy.

Some people here have had quite the fun (and/or painful) time with the Dark Spire and their generators. ;)

XD haha, hey hey now, starters its her, but i may of very well been like that i wasn't going to cheat myself out of the game =P just so happens i may of not of assumed most of them would make it harder
Though in my current game with those  Dark Spire Vengeance Generator, i found 3 planets side by side with one on each one XD i dont know if that will be problematic or what but it doesnt look good, and do ships dying in planets beside the planet with them on matter?
Because I'm in a huge battle atm with about 2K Ai ships right beside one of those planets =P
