Is there a way to play with the AI on planets other than Emerald? I tried playing with real people but it kills me to wait for their turn! Besides I play mostly at work (shh! don't tell my boss! ) and I can't have the game open at all times. On the other hand I always win against the AI on Emerald, so it's kinda getting boring. I was thinking that if it were possible to play with the AI on other planets it might make it interesting again.

Yes, it's possible. Just buy "Massive Assault", boxed game.

Boxed-version MA, which can be found on http://www.massiveassault.com/purchase.php, lets you play all the maps except Crateus against the AI. However, don't expect it to do any better than it does on Emerald.

Does the staff plan on adding AI to the online version? That would be cool!

altho this means that the new maps that rn't designed for MA are multiplayer only. (eg Craterous)
