The compact formation should be part of the download for the Aquilaeian. There should be a new formations.txt file that you need to put in the data folder replacing your old one. If you are not sure about replacing the whole file, you can just copy the compact formation from the new file and add it to your existing file. I assume the newest Version of the TDM-Modpack also has a formation.txt that has compact included. The easiest way, of course, is just changing the default formation in the fleet.txt in the Aquilaeian AI.
The problem with the United Floral Empire is because the AI has not been updated, yet. Andrés Lescano has posted this in another thread:

Critical updates to outdated AIs:
In AI_General
Political Savy > Political Savvy
Design Name File add .txt to the file name
In AI_DesignCreation
Phased-Shield Generation > Phased Shield Generation
Combat To Hit Dec > Combat To Hit Defense Plus
Combat To Hit Add > Combat To Hit Offense Plus
Combat Sensors > Combat To Hit Offense Plus
In AI_Settings
These lines may be missing (of course you can change them to fit the race)
Get Angry Over Allied Colonizable Planets := True
Get Angry Over Enemy Colonizable Planets := False
Percentage of Allied Planets to consider as Attack Locations for Anger := 10
Percentage of Enemy Planets to consider as Attack Locations for Anger := 5
Personality Group := 3
You either have to update the DesignCreation yourself or contact the author, if he plans to make an update.
Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to write a program to patch outdated AI. I guess that would be a job for Matryx or suicide junkie.
Anyway, I hope I could be of help.
Have fun
