it's interesting how you say AI, but a distinction should be made between auto-ships and AI. the auto-ships are the one you describe. the AI on the other hand, are the annoying ones that jump away quickly and have nanobot clouds, however, are interesting to deal with because of that.

yes, that is agreeably an annoying consequence of that -- end up reaching the exit beacon with around 13 fuel, and so you take the long-range jump because by that point the enemies are boring, and then you run out of fuel next sector...

I can guide you through the process, or better yet, I could just do it for you, if you want, as an addon. it'd be a simple manner of changing the value from -10 to -1, or whatever you want...
the -10 fuel is an interesting thing how I described above, though if it were any less, it wouldn't really feel like a long-range jump -- you have to expend
a lot of fuel just to get closer. the best thing to do really is actually to buy a lot of fuel in preparation, because you know you'll need that fuel not only to make the jump, but also for the sector that lies ahead. getting caught by the fleet in ce infinite is not something you want happening in the later sectors (or so I'm told
).
