Turning off expansions I understood, but "everything" can cover a lot, are you saying you disabled as many options in ship options and used as many negating AI modifiers as possible?

Yes, I disabled all minor factions and AI plots.

It sounds about right -- this has changed in recent version. To answer your question about how this is calculated, please see the following: http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Why_Do_Enemy_Waves_Get_So_Large%3F#How_Wave_Sizes_Are_Calculated

If that doesn't seem to match up, feel free to reopen.

If you think it sounds right, I guess it must have been bugged too low recently, and I'm not as good as I think I am; only started playing recently.

It was bugged low fairly recently.

I'm currently digging pretty deeply through the wave calculation code and putting in some logging stuff, though, so we'll see what we find.
