Here is a bit of a glitch that I found in one of the AI files (EEE_AI_General.txt to be exact). Their planet type is set to Gas, not Gas Giant, and this is causing them to begin the game with no starting planets. I edited the file, and they start properly now. I don't know if this is an older glitch (I dl'd the modpack back in late March), or if it is a current one. It's just a minor one...unless you like playing as/against the EEE that is
