AI builds large amounts of scouts

I've noticed in every single player game Ive played in entrenchment, by midgame the AI fleets are comprised of at least 50% scout ships.  I'll be surprised when a big enemy fleet jumps into my grav well and scrambling my fleet to respond, only to realise that half of them are scouts and they just run away as soon as I get a few decent ships in.  Were talking 30+ scouts

It's probably to counter perceived mine threats.  THe Ai spams mines, so they assume that you spam mines.  ergo, they include counter-measures in their fllet mix, now.
