I think the screenshot speaks for itself

At first there were only like 8 or 9. But then, more began to come, and this was the result.

I think this is/was because the server load was getting very high. Once the server load hits a certain percentage, it starts turning off some of the AI routines, and i'm pretty sure the transport ships are part of that

It would save a lot of CPU if there is only one transport at a time working in a cluster.

Maybe have it so the SY spawns it but then it acts like a normal tansport and will ferry res to the sy and other planets in that system that have a star port?

Or, just remove AI transport which transfering resource from planet to planet. Double the resource digging from all mines bases is enough to compensate.
AI transport eats CPU usage and they terminate resource when two AI drop over resource on a planet.

It doesn't matter to the server, as once the fighting kicks up and the server load goes over a certain %, it simply cuts out certain AI. It really doesn't hit the server that hard.

I think this is actually caused by the new collision avoidance code... ops!

This might be possible: Yesterday I witnessed a group of six Transport AI sitting idly 700gu from Reality where there was no reported strain on the server, so no real reason to drop their movement routine.

Just delete AI transport transfering resource from planet to planet. I don't know how important they are in game, but they are quite good at reducing the total resource in a cluster via inefficient distribution.
They, so far, act like a mobile PD and that's their best role in game. Is this role intended?

I wonder what their behavior would be like if ships could collide with each other then.
