So I noticed today that as soon as I meet other empires in the early game, all of them are "overwhelming" in regards to me in terms of fleet power. Was there a recent change that makes them build up to fleet capacity in the very beginning of the game? Or was this always there and I just didn't notice? Something feels different.
