AI on Planets

Does AI spawn on planets? I have never seen any and planets seem barren. It would be cool to see ships, especially enemy AI ships zipping around the planet, especially if they get into battles with your allies. If you attack a city, what if ships would spawn to defend and a cap ship spawned in the upper atmosphere to rain down fire on the attackers.

Hello,

Yes you will find AI planet side.

You can drag AI ships from space on to a planet. You can also accept contracts from a city for planetside combat against AI. About the only thing AI are hesitant to do is descend into the atmosphere from space to attack you if you're already on the planet. In that situation, they usually only descend so far ... then climb back into space.

What conditions are required for the planetside combat missions, I do not think I have ever seen any.

Any combat contract which doesn't specify trading routes or any other space-type mission. Patrol contracts and especially Ace contracts, when accepted at a city, should generate a contract waypoint on the planet ... but you must remain planetside while flying to the waypoint, else the AI will likely spawn on the planet but follow you into space.
