HE isnt considered weak as such but it has one huge problem.
"Time to Front"

Consider for a moment 2 ajoining empires(one HE one not) - no war between them but have been shooting down each others scouts.
Both empires have other empires to worry about on their borders.
Your just reaching the Battleship era - with the associated 300/500 gates.

If the HE attacks they need to gather forces and then clear minefields and hit a world that might have a defence force gated in at the last minute.

If the other attacks - 1 year to build across the empire, 1 year to gather via gate. Clear mines and hit world.
This gives the HE very little time to respond to the threat and it is likely that it is just impossible to assemble a defence in time.

What this translates to is that when people start looking for someone to attack the HE is very tempting as you know you can trim away at least 2 planets before they can mount a defence.
So the HE often gets attacked by a couple of people - at which point they are overstretched and weakend. From there it is a downward slope.

Aparently years ago HE did have gates and was considered too powerful so gates were removed.
