The bug there is the lack of the chat message:

Surround your wormholes with flak turrets and at least 3 tractor beams. You should be good.

With some of my very early implementations of the flak turrets, that might have actually been enough.

Perhaps toss in a few of the super-alpha heavy beam cannons, which could destroy basically arbitrary quantities of ships if they lined up orderly.

Wow.  But yeah, with that AI Progress, that looks correct to me!  Actually a tad on the low side, to be honest. :)

Well, I have my handy spreadsheet for giving me a rough guide on that... and that's actually now online, too: http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Why_Do_Enemy_Waves_Get_So_Large%3F#How_Wave_Sizes_Are_Calculated

I would also like to know how cap sizes work with a schizophrenic AI

And considering of the waves we have had to defend against lately, many of us might be able to handle two lvl 10 with double waves  ;)

In general, the level of complaining is driving Developer-Progress up and we're considering launching a wave ;)

I'm pretty sure any one of those incredible waves would cause my CPU to explode out the side of my machine, killing me instantly

Bear in mind that excess gets shunted into carriers: I've actually had a wave of 52,000 units and my CPU didn't slow down at all because only a few thousand were actually active at any given time.  That said, all the carriers blasted my command station to smithereens before I could even kill more than maybe 4k of the enemy with my six armored golems (I had cheated in order to test the massive wave sizes).

Oh, and regarding the schizophrenic AI: it's the same.  The stuff that is per-ship-type is just applied to however many ships of that type are to be added, that's all.
