So the AI is getting better which is great. As I play, I feel like I'm sensing different AIs, i.e. you can have the same level/type adversary, but they will be much more or less challenging or behave differently. I'm assuming this is because there are some different AI types that build for different competencies. I may be wrong on all this, but if I'm not, it would be great to have a high-level pre-combat talent that would give you some insight into an enemy ship's build strategy. Maybe it would be a level 15 spy (they've got intel on this capt) or e-tech (they've done a deep scan of the enemy's ship) that would give you insight into what their strengths and weakness are. It would add a lot to the tactical fun if you could anticipate and adapt to what the enemy was going to do. At the moment we are somewhat groping and sometimes after a few turns it's too late to adjust your tactics.
Implementation might be a challenge, but it could be as simple as naming some of the AI and giving a tool-tip that explains them. Player would quickly come to know the different AIs. Otherwise some sort of a graph with Armor/Shield 5, Evasion 10, Accuracy 7, Prefers range 4 could work.
