I'd say that's a smart AI. Rather than do a sucide run against enemy fleet, it's going after undefended targets. I know I would have done the same thing.

I know of one game out there that offers unparallel space battle experience and that is Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. This game sets the bar in space battle. Check out the videos at Gamespot and you would never play any space game where the ships doesn't move in battle anymore. Well, maybe Sins of the Solar Empire. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/nexus/media.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs&tag=tabs;videos
