Not sure if i'm just bad at the game. i hadnt played in a long time due to performance making it basically not able to play.

played about 3 games so far. first went okayish losing to the crisis at the end (cetunas or something). was all across the galaxy and just couldnt reach or kill their fleets.

2nd playthrough just got wiped by a hungering swarm early on

3rd playthrough my game hit a forced freeze at a certain time.

4th now went pretty good. arc furnace start. had a solid area of the map with plenty of planets so i focused on bulwarking. AI opened the tempest at 2330 or so. with 3x crisis strength (i assume the tempest scales as well). 110k fleet blasted past 130k station power. fleet power and tech feels so slow now so i couldnt defend against it. it just started turning my worlds into nanite dust. 0 fights had all game, all alloys into defenses and upgrades and i still couldnt defend.

game feels incredibly dull and slow playing. terrible AI still. not sure how others are experiencing this?
