Speaking on concentrated firepower...

The AI just exo-waved one of those defense installations with an armored golem, an artillery golem, 4 black widow golems(at least), and a collection of lesser ships.

Populating EventAttackArmada, 448961 total points; Game Time: 12:10:01

That group actually COMPLETELY obliterated my defenses, as my main fleet was busy marauding around some poor homeworld

Have a hab in my hub but Bub it don't love. It won't grow, Flo, or get large, Marge.

It just sits there and waits for a build command that never comes.

Yes, yes, yes. Well. Loaded up "Unable to build" and one thing stood out to me. Let's call this one thing, "Uhbuori".
"Uhbuori" still is being a pain in your "Posterior". Remove said pain and see if you can't build again.

Note: The above are planet names from the save.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

Yeah, the guy I was playing with named that system.

I'll give that a go once I get done arguing over the immunosuppressant aspects of testosterone in a half hour. Yay college!

Are all the adjacent planets clear of AI command stations?

He still had one AI planet (Uhbuori) adjacent to the hub on Posterior. The other reported issues don't sound like issues to me (I didn't play the first save, just loaded it).

The First shard is on a neutral planet, surrounded by one of his and other neutral planets. So building the hub on that side might make it look like it started at T2 (would be T2 when the hab was built). The second issue sounds like the shard spawn changes that went in a few changes back. The 3rd issue (hab won't continue to build), he has an AI planet neighboring the hub and 3 structures already built.

And...

Yes, absolutely, it looks like we missed a command center. I thought because we had been able to build three reactors at the first colony that we'd run into a bug somehow that was preventing us from upgrading the second city. When I killed the command center, everything seemed hunky-dory.

Thanks for putting up with me! (Last semester of college and I'm ready to get out. A teacher once told me that the more you know about a subject, the less you seem to know about everything else... including instructions, apparently)

No worries. Glad to help you get back to killin' the AI.
