But I also hope that the 100 year screenshot was created at normal difficulty.

Will the AI improvements also make sector governors better if we try to use them instead of micromanaging everything ourselves?

This sounds like an excellent foundation, but I have one concern - currently it's extremely easy for the player to get ahead in research, which results in getting ahead in resources and military development, and an early tech advantage often snowballs such that you're a clear step up from everyone else in the galaxy by midgame. If the AI now has even less focus on research and other advanced outputs, will this problem be exacerbated?

What does the AI do once it achieves its goals? If I understand these right, an income value in a plan is a target income, and once it achieves that, the plan is fulfilled, and it goes on to try and satisfy the next income target down the list? What happens when it gets everything in the green? Surely the AI isn't simply happy with 30 alloys of income for all time?
