I got that same feeling as well. I have been very much dissapointed in the lack of challenge the AI has given. When I finally used some of the mods available, I was pleasantly surprised to see my empire attacked a few times by a neighbor. Though, I must admit, I quickly tired from the same destroyer class, only one at a time, come by and try to take the same planet in my system, which was heavily guarded, versus any of the other plantets which were of the same type, but much less guarded.

I, too, never have felt that I was threatened in any way, which is a shame since it seems like it could be a good game.

I'm hoping that this new patch is something else, especially considering that I shelled out $40 for the game, which was something I was a bit reluctant to do given the lack of product documentation.

I suppose we shall see, eh?
