In general, I agree. However, while attempting to improve the AI's 
colony management, I introduced the colony profile. I'm not entirely 
sure that this doesn't handicap the growth of colonies in its current 
form. A few test games with a few hundred turns might be in order.

There is also the small but bothering bug that the order of players is 
changed after loading a saved game.

If we released 0.9.0 now (I don't think we should call it alpha, since 
it seems to be at least as stable as 0.8.4), we could really start 
improving the AI without worrying too much about stability.
