Sounds like you just got unlucky, though I did get paired with a moronic Vasari AI who didn't know where to send its fleets for crap, it did build starbases, even on normal :O

They're definitely more active early game, but late game they fall pretty flat and don't really seem to do a whole lot much of the time, at least with normal AI. It also seems like to me they're allying less than they used to, leading me and my one allied AI to pretty much steamroll everything, although I could just be getting bad race/faction combos.

I suppose it's possible they could potentially slow your expansion if you happened to get a bunch of oceanic planets near your homeworld, since they seem to have similar militia fleets to Terran planets, though the same thing could happen if they were Terran or desert planets. Plus, it's still better than spawning with a bunch of magnetic clouds connected to a pirate base around your homeworld :P.

I'm still alive, and coincidentally became interested in playing Sins again like 2 days before the DLC came out. Anyway I do actually like the DLC, it adds some depth to planet development that was not there before. The values listed for population figures do not seem to be accurate though, I was very excited to get my homeworld close to 1k population, though at full social specialization it was more like 700, despite what the tooltip said. The new planet types aren't all that

Basically what Goa said. AI (especially higher difficulty ones) get massive advantages. The main weakness of AI is that while they know how to put a decent fleet together (I've found that often they will build large numbers of counters to whatever you have, though it is rarely an optimal fleet comp), they haven't got a clue how to micromanage it. They will simply send all their ships right into range of a Starbase or other powerful unit instead of staying back and letting only u

Try verifying the integrity of the game cache by right clicking in your steam library and going to properties. If any files are borked Steam will redownload them.
