I agree 100% - see my posting TDM-Modpack politics in really big game. It is raining soup and none of the AI have a bowl if they have met any other race. They switch strategy from complete colonization to prepare for war or war. It should be fairly easy to split them 50/50 between colony and war production in the ship building schedule. I think the problem is that the AI has been optimized for small quadrant low resources and just assumes there is nothing worth colonizing.
