Setup: One of each faction at genius on a gigantic map.

1. The Yor defeated the Terrans but did not destroy the farms on any of the captured planets.

2. Either the Terrans or the Yor or both do not believe in using anything other than Durantum Refineries. There are very very few factories on any of the planets I've been capturing from the Yor.

3. The AI completely discounts carriers. The diplomacy screens says I'm 14th in military might. I have a handful of huge ships with 8 high capacity assault carriers, good defenses, weak kinetic weapons,  and lots and lots of engines. They've decimated every AI fleet they've encountered. My weapons tech is very high so my assault craft are far far better than what the AI has. If I look at the diplomacy screen when being asked if I want a 'Quick Battle' (and therefore all 41 ships are being registered by the AI) my military jumps from 14th to 2nd place.
