Mephisto: In my view, the Praetorians have great advantages when the human player is peaceful, because they seldomly have war with the human player at the beginning. I guess they don't stand much a chance if the human player is aggressive and attacks them soon, as their ships are not necessarily great
As they are very peaceful, they have a lot of partnerships and send a lot of colony ships to all edges of the galaxy. One modder said AI's should not have more than military alliances because of the waste to send colony ships on neverending missions, yet on the other hand, the Praetorians manage to build massive empires this way.
