I tried playing AI last night and it's like the camera system has gotten even worse since a few months ago. The thing will just randomly jump way the fuck out to the mining magnet for no obvious reasons sometimes.
You can kind of get around the bullshittery if you're willing to use the mouse. Clicking on the screen will (as much as I can tell) try to focus on that area with a nearby camera. It works a lot better than the directional keys, but not by much.
All I can say is that it's very frustrating to try to be an effective AI, because the camera movement isn't really predictable. I'm pretty sure there's a few places where pushing down then up (or any other similar combo) won't take you back to where you came from.
