I kinda like this idea. Without havin several hundred players on at a time, it sometimes feels like there isn't much to do. Upping the number of AI would make it seem more lively, especially when no one else is on. It would also help defend your systems when say 7-10 Kluth player dreads and a station decide to come in and try to kick you out.

I would like to see AI cost resources, and spawn from shipyards. I made a similiar suggestion earlier. With the change of keeping ships that are destroyed in combat, we once again, have a massive build up of resources that are almost NEVER used. Either that, or make destroyed ships cost more resources to take out again.

It is a good suggestion. I still don't understand where Ai ships originate, but they surely should keep the number of AI ships available to each faction limited. It is probably even already that way. Probably though the fact it is automatic is much better.

Herpderp, ITT: People who know nothing about servers. The server can handle the load easily, it's just the ISP for them isn't exactly the best. Sorry, Darkspace doesn't have a google server farm with a 10gb line to handle things. Support the game and one day there will be an upgrade from what they have now.
Back to the topic - I do think AI need a rework in how they're spawned and how long they stay in game, and you may have a decent idea here, only problem is there needs to be a limit on AI or else one person could have an entire armada of AI to spam things with. I'm not one for formulas and all that jazz, so I can't come up with a decent proposal for it.
Also, I've heard Faustus is currently reworking the AI's abilities and strategies ingame, so if he does a good enough job you may not even need to spawn more then a few AI, they may be on equal levels with the majority of players in terms of piloting and strategy.

Besides having more intelligent AI, they could also benefit by adding more command options. Right now u can tell them to GO somewhere, or ATTACK and DEFEND targets. Some additional commands would be good.
One command I would like to see realized would be a MIMIC me command. Where the AI will follow and shadow me in formation, and target and shoot whatever I'm shooting at.

Nobody wants some luth decloaking with an armada of AI that all opens fire at once and instagibs anything before they have a chance to react.
