I just found out in the Discord that as difficulty increases, the AI intelligence (not just the stats) increases as well.
Apparently the AI makes better strategic and tactical decisions in combat, utilizes talents better, and has better ship builds and crew composition the higher the difficulty.
This is an excellent thing, because in my experience with most games, higher difficulty just translates into better stats for enemy, worse stats for you. It is very rare for the AI to actually get smarter/make better decisions.
I would like to suggest advertising this feature on the difficulty screen, as it is very appealing to some players to face an opponent that actually makes smarter decisions, not just has better stats. If I had not stumbled on this information via a stray comment on the Discord, I never would have known. I think it is a great selling point and should be publicly available information, and not limited only to players 'in the know'.
My two cents, thanks to the Trese Brothers for being so receptive to feedback, and the player base for being so helpful!
