I was just lucky to be surrounded by a (looking back on things) foolish HE (but one who I am graciously happy to have allied with) and 2 other AR races.

Why thank you for that flattering comment, freakboy! 
Actually, it was your habitat that made you far more desireable to me as an ally than 4711 (even though he seemed much nicer), who seemed to be able to colonize everything. I figured with you as an ally I could simply leave everything that you could colonize and there'd still be plenty of planets for me, and no friction over who gets to colonize what.
But the reason I wasn't feeling aggressive about attacking either of the two AR's north and south of me was at that point I'd JUST learned about monster HG races, had no knowledge of what an AR can achieve, and was certain that everyone was playing a monster race but me. I didn't want to pick one enemy, and then find the other deciding I'd be a good enemy too when I might have allied with the first one I attacked instead. Make sense?
I still don't think your race is bad at all, but, what do I know. (Not much)
Editting: Added the following...
As for my own lousy races I'll never try again, how about ALL of them? I still havn't found anything to replace my old tri-immune HE, which is sad considering the consensus on tri-immune HE's. I guess playing a tri-immune HE is simple enough that it's hard to screw it up, and I still need to learn how to play the game effectively with anything else.
