In the standard game, yes, but not so much in Proportions. Their homeworlds are as good as anyone else's and I have fought long drawn out campaigns against them, because they have to concentrate their defences in one system unlike regular empires who spread themselves thin across many systems.

The problem is that you can be at war with them for a long time and they can't attack you outside their system. That's the main issue I see with Neutrals.

On the other hand, is true that their defenses are impresive. I haven't attacked a regular AI Homeworld yet, so i can't compare, but it took me 3 assaults and 3 years of blockade to take the Bobrosa States Homeworld. They had over 60 WP including Medium sized ones. At the end I only conquered them when I retrofited 10 of my Destroyers as PDCs, and 2 as Fast Troop Carriers. Their weakness was in that the mayority of their WP were Missiles.
I will mess the AI design files so they build more WP with Meson BLasters.
