Greetings, I bring an issue to your attention that makes Gammu Artificial Intelligence ID absolutely weak in comparison to other Alien IDs.

Current situation with indie Alien IDs:

Wild Pawn ID
Within Zone of Influence (Omicrons, Omegas, Taus, Sigmas, Coronado, Colorado, Drake, Hamburg, Inverness, Kepler, Thuringia, Tohoku):
- Can attack any ship.

Nomad ID
Within Zone of Influence (Omicrons, Omegas, Taus, Sigmas, Inverness):
- Can attack any ship.

Nomad Vagrant ID
Within Zone of Influence (Omicrons, Omegas, Taus, Sigmas, Inverness):
- Can attack any ship.

And then there's
Gammu Artificial Intelligence ID
- Can attack combat ships in systems that do not contain a human jump gate.

Do you see how GAI ID has so strict requirements to be able to engage someone? Not only is it players' responsibility to make sure there's no Human Jump Gate in system and that takes more than half of Omegas, Sigmas and Taus away when comparing to other Alien IDs. GAI "ZOI" vs Nomad ZOI. On top of this, Nomads and Wilds can engage any ship, combat or trade ship. Artificial Intelligence? Appearently only combat ships, which can include unlawful/quasi-lawful transports with CDs, but most other traders with more than 3600 ships, or any corporate trade ship are a no-go. Which makes AI ID absolutely horrible Alien ID that pales in comparison to Nomad and Wild IDs.

Simple and easy solution would be to simply make ID line:
- Can attack any ship in systems that do not contain a human jump gate.

Harder and more generous solution would be to give ZOI that equals Nomad IDs"
Within Zone of Influence (Omicrons, Omegas, Taus, Sigmas):
- Can attack any ship.

Thank you for your cosideration.
