Having a test slugout with AI on grand campain in Beta 1.7.11.23x4, playing as Japan on Hard level.

I stationed a carrier group 1 hex from Pago-Pago for a week, kicking some transports in the process. Seas are desolate around the place, and AI is aware I'm there. Then suddenly Queen Elizabeth teleports right into Pago-Pago from her repairs in Sydney with puny escort and 1000 supply cargo, and gets some bombs the next turn. I loaded prev turn for Allies side to check, and yes she's disbanded in Sydney with 10 sys damage. No air cover in Pago-Pago at all.
I'm perfectly ok with SAGs teleporting around the place, AI should get all the help it can. But valuable non-combat ships should not run that kind a gauntlet when lots of other disposable ships are available

The AI can "summon" ships needed, it don't need to travel them to their destination.

Also, the AI isn't a real "AI" as many people expect, its just more some kind of scripts with some basics. If the AI need ships, it will summon them, not checking for overall threats in the area or using certain ships only. It just takes "something" that fits the need.
