Awakening dlc got fixed. If you bought the game because of sseth then I'd advise you to listen.
The Nakalim hunt for artifacts. They cannot produce science on their own without artifacts. These artifacts can be assigned to temples, heroes, or the civ itself.
Everything about the Academy has been fixed. Options have been added to tweak the Academy ai. It means you could make him a single system entity who protects said system with a powerful fleet. He doesn't forget about the donors, as donating to him will grant you favor. Favor can be used for a civ specific buff (nakalim relics, hissho keii per turn). You can also request a fleet, a system they own, or protection from a player led crusade.
Definitely the space pols. It's fun to raid other players under the guise of a pirate mark. Find pirates lairs, ally with pirates so you get an additional teleporter, mark a system, disguise your fleet as a pirate fleet, and raid to your hearts content.
