Would be nice to have more AI personalities

There only seems to be 'good' and 'bad' personalities for certain archtypes.
Theres nothing between the evangelizing zealots and the spiritual seekers, or the peaceful traders and the ruthless capitalist, why nothing in between?

I'm hoping more are added to accommodate the different civics.

I'd be happy if the different types had more distinct behaviour. For me that would help one of stellaris main problems, a lack of context for the empires on the map. Unlike in eu4 for example, where you can look at France and have that context to immerse yourself, in stellaris they are all fairly samey so it's hard to care about or even remember many of the empires you meet.

Civics will be adding at least some nuance to this, so we may just have to see where it gets us.

I like spawning in my own "rouges gallery" of common empires, and it would be nice that if you could select (with the normal restrictions/prerequisites of course) AI type that is used if they were to spawn as an AI empire. I don't know if it's me, or one of my mods, but I see honor bound warriors way too much.

There is nothing in-between these archetypes because there would be almost no way for the player to distinguish between them. It's a very common theme with players. They always want more of something. Good developers realize though that it is more important to have less things that are fully fleshed out. Guess why No Man's Sky was such a disappointment to many and why Bethesda stopped creating procedurally generated environments (Oblivion vs Skyrim).

Seems a little immersion breaking for me though when nearly half the Empires in game are are peaceful and cooperative, and the others are rampaging lunatics, I'm the only reasonable one.

Fair point. I haven't experienced it the way you seem to have, though. For instance, I have often found that even xenophobe/aggressive empires want to have peace or an agreement when I am too strong for them or when it would help them to stave off another threat. Sorry, if my previous post seemed condescending.

I mean maybe this is my fault because I'm in the top 3(out of 20) most powerful empires(Excluding fallen empires) in my current game and everyone is declaring war on everyone with the lunatics vs the federations, meanwhile my empire just stays out of all factions and just watchs the chaos unfold saying "Hmmm... sure sucks out there. Oh well, doesn't effects us."
