Sometimes when I play in a single player game, the AI just appears to lose. Before you laugh TOO hard, let me say that they still have planets and they still have fleets. I don't know why this is, and I was hoping someone could tell me.
I thought the only way to lose the game was to lose your last planet. Am I wrong?
Forgive me, I'm a newb to the forums.

The AI does surrender if it determines that you have an insurmountable advantage that it can't overcome.
There really isn't a set formula for when the AI will surrender. I find it is usually when their combined used fleet size is only 1/3 of mine, and they only have 3 or fewer planets. But that is on a single star map, multi star maps are different...
i could be mistaken here, but in my solo games i have noticed that if i take out their home planet, even when they have other planets or fleets available, that the game will give me a game over and a defeat on the enemy side.

That's not always the case, though it does sometimes happen.
I did however have cases where the AI colonized planets, but couldn't afford the Population Infrastructure upgrades so those planets were constantly losing it credits. All I needed to do then was take out the planets producing credits and any trade ports and the AI surrendered soon after.
Also, i think there is an internal clock saying if they don't get attacked in some form of other players (exluding pirates) they just give up.
i guess in that case they just give up considering the greater advantage you have of them at that time.
