[AGoetz]

I downloaded 1.2 and the various image packs required (took several days, slow connection at home). Playing solo versus AI.
Had colonized 4 systems before my scouts found an AI (note : not a neutral) - the AI had a fleet of ships over it homeworld but had no other colonies and I had seen no sign of the AI scouting before I entered it's homesystem. The turn after I entered the system the AI blew my scout away and sent the fleet straight back to my homesystem.
Is the AI just a slow expander or is there an incorrect setting or something? All 19 of the AIs were showing 1 system/1 planet under the score card.
Also, (probably nothing you can do about this), all the AI ships I encountered had 3 structual integrity field components installed.
