Emperor, one more thing I do is to create a map with all huge planets, each system averages 10 planets, although some only have 2 or 3 while a couple may have 15. The resource settings I put at a minimum of 100 to a max of 150. I have though increased some of the requirements of organics and radioactives on ship and facility construction, it tends to balance out better. I actually have a harder time maintaining radioactives than minerals. But as for the AI, they have no problem in creating large empires with huge numbers of ships. Add that to the high bonuses, this scenario is pretty tough.
