Happy new year everyone!

Pretty serious AI failure in my latest beta game:
It's mid-game, I'm playing as Korath; Terrans end up being the main rival. (tough, large galaxy, random events off). They control the most space, although they started on the far side of the galaxy and haven't been involved in any major wars that i've noticed. I notice their performance on the charts is strange; leading by far in research and industry but their military strength is dismal. on closer review i find that:
- every Terran planet I can see has its starport clogged full with 10 space miners.
I'm talking like, well over 100 space miners here.
- Using the "Tech Report" option when I have the window up with the Terran ambassador, it's not clear to me that they have researched any weapon technologies at all. They have Terror Star IV, and high levels of logistics and mini, but I think they don't have any beam/mass/missle ranks at all.
If the save is needed, Let me know how to submit it.
P.S. On a side note, I feel like the AI way under-values the new unique techs that have a civilization wide effect. (+econ from Collective Economics, +speed from the Arceans, +research from Toria, etc.) Those techs seem really powerful, and it seems like you can trade early game junk techs for them pretty regularly.
