Hmmm.... in all honesty its best to expect the worst out of all people you play in the online gaming world. That way your even more pleasantly surprised by the cool folks that are out there & will easily adapt to the abuse that you WILL suffer (you are guaranteed abuse)
I would love to have a "faster" option for larger games with people willing to play it. For 2on2 and 1on1 the FAST seems plenty fast enuff (i like my opponents 1 or 2 planets away :) ) but for larger games having a "faster" option would be great.

Sounds to me that the AI is doing a good job of keeping you off balance with a smaller fleet than yours. The way to force an engadgement is to ATTACK. Attack something that they will be forced to defend. And if
