Sounds like you got lucky on your start position We have some work to do on that

Ah, I see the problem. I am pretty sure there is a bug where sometimes the AI isn't allowed to travel to other solar systems. We'll track it down. Thx for the info.

all the games I have played I began in one star system with all the other players in the same system and no players in any other star systems and I can certainly confirm what daniel is saying that none of the AI were trying to colonise spare star systems.

In fact I did actually have some fun, I know it is forbidden but I just couldn't help myself where after one ferocious battle I had a cap ship and two colonies limping away to the star with 10% armor hemmed in and likely to be attacked and destroyed at any time, so in an act of desperation I sent them on an intersteller joyride. Once arrived they had to wait for the capship to repair enough to conquer a planet to build a repair station. It was very a dramatic episode and the seed that sparked a turnaround in my peoples fortunes!

Ooh! Ooh! If you add ally players, they start in different star systems, with AI players around them.

i should probable note that the ai did travel between the two occupied systems just not the empty

of course that kind of stopped when i parked those 40 cruisers at the star

Pre-patch I did notice the AI didnt seem to go after my Inter-stellar holdings, it tended ot focus on a single star system.

Re: faction placement, I ahve noticed a high degree of crowding all the factions into 1-2 systems and leaving the others empty.

Wow... the AI just engaged me in almost 15 minute battle for a dead asteroid with no resources around it. At one point it was 4 vs 4 battleships duking it out! The AI on hard is defiantly a challenge!
