So I started a Human game and put it on Full Auto from the start to see how the AI would manage it. Ran it at 4x speed.
1400 Stars, Very low planet Quality, Starting/Defaults everything else.

Noteworthy things:
It only built 3 explorers.
It discovered a very nice Independent Haakonish colony. It kept sending colony ships which failed. I think it sent 10 while I was watching.

It beef up the military quickly to create a fleet of 10 frigates/destroyers and troop transport.
It got into a war with a nearby Boskaran empire. It launched an attack and captured their minor colony. It attempted to take out the main spaceport three times and got trounced each time.

It never attempted to colonize anything else but just kept on pumping out colony ships at the Independent colony.

After I saw this and my other posted experiences in the tech forum, resigned myself to waiting for the next patch and hoping for better.

As usual you surprise me again with great support for DW.  Is 1.0.5.8 a Beta patch or an official patch? Do we have to get it from the members club?
