Curiously, in my present game (255-system cluster galaxy, 1.35 + ModPack... and a race w/o any advanced traits, heh), I've seen both behaviors. Rage normally uses fleets approaching 20 ships in size, while the Ukra-Tal tend to send in singletons and pairs, or occasionally 4 at a time. It might be just that Rage has a larger production base than the Ukra-Tal (when we were allies shortly before I became Mega-Evil, they were in second place and the UTs were fourth), but their behavior does seem a bit different.
