New alpha version .101.

In what sense suiciding?  It really depends on which AI routine you are using, too, and what sort of ships you give it.

Also in the current version, there are a couple of ships which just wreck everything, and some other ships which can't fire far enough to hit anything.  There are several things that are a mess there, sorry about that.

After creating one squadron, the enemy flagship sends it directly at me. By the time it gets to me, I already have my squadron + flagship. The enemy creates another squadron and does the same thing. Does the same thing five times in a row, and I don't lose a single unit.

That is the correct behavior for only one of the types, which is the hyper-aggressive one.  It should not do that on most AI styles.  Not remotely that.  Something may simply be wrong.
