So I decide to pilot and enhance a kluth Drainer. I putt around trying to find a fight and kill a couple solo ships here and there and get bored and decide to try my hand with an Engineer.
No sooner do I load up an Engineer, realizing there is nothing I can build unless I take over a planet, when I see a Pirate space station and 5 Destroyers attacking a planet.
I load up my Drainer and engage them for almost an hour for a couple hundred prestige gain. Amazingly I never die as I stick to hit and run against the station and the destroyers as I see them thin out.
I announce in Faction chat over and over that this force is attacking...one person warps in with a cruiser to help and promptly warps out 4 minutes later.
Bored with the cat and mouse games and only scoring two kills against their supply ship and helping the planet kill off at least 4 destroyers (who promptly return to the fight) I log off in boredom since I was a one person faction tonight.
Great fight but I might as well have been playing a single player space sim.
Hats off the the [Elite] pirate gang if those were people.

Well I found that same Pirate Station attacking Kluth planet Rick today. He was at 50% hull and such..got him down to 4% hull with planet Rick pounding him with missles.
I believe he must have either self destructed or the explosion from him dying caught me and killed me but I got credit for the kill of a station 
Now if I can only figure out how to build a friggin supply station for me to use in this area..

Can't build stations or "order up" AI units, I believe. If you send distress calls, either combat or supply AI will show up eventually to help you out, depending on the type of distress call you send.
There is a specific system where the most PVP takes place. Also, most players will not bother with AI, as damaging them only nets a fraction of prestige that would be granted from damaging another player.
Gratz on your station kill. First one is always a thrill.

I see so any ship w/o a player looking name is AI. I had wondered if the player names were hidden or something. So the ships with names ending in [Elite] were AI or actual players?
I don't remember name..just "Bombard" Destroyer [Elite].

Ships ending with [Elite] are elite AI, and are harder to kill than normal AI, however, they also give better rewards.

Let me translate that to what it really means:
We act a little less disorganized than the humans, and we only fight in Tau.
Sorry, if you want to play in any other system, your a little s.o.l..
Parody is arriving to DS finally. Now ALL factions suck for tactics.

You can always cut in with the line "I'm trying to fight a galactic civil war here, atleast wait til we conquer the metaverse!"
If only for the look on her face...
