Thats intersting how your game is coming along there Emperor, cuz mine is quite different. I am using all the same mods in a 250 star size galaxy with 20 players all at 5000 or expert levels and all set to the highest difficulty settings. I use those races that came with the mods along with all the trekkie races I created. So far I am pretty impressed with the original computer players. Being on turn 42, I am struggling to maintain 7th place as the UFP (Federation). The Norkaks(original SEIV player) are in first followed by the Klingons, Cardassians, Pratorians, Ferengi, Romulans, and myself. The Toron's, part of the mephisto mod are in 8th place. The Darloks are in 12, Xi'Chung in 13th, Narn at 15th, EA at 16th and Sergetti at 17th. One race has already been eliminated and the Romulans have pounded down the EEE to 1 planet, and they are blockading and hitting that one with a fleet of over 20 cruisers.
I have seen huge numbers of fleets all over the place, some fleets exceeding 30-40 ships. The galaxy I am in is a blood thirsty one...sheesh. Some races have not made contact yet, but those that have are in mortal combat with each other. Plus everyone is expanding like a pack of jackrabbits, except the poor EEE...hehe, their balloon is about to get popped

This is one heck of a game!!
