Not on topic but I have yet to see any AI that wins with TEC Loyalists.

You are not necessarily doing anything wrong. The hardest two AI levels get large to massive economic bonuses, free research, extra capitalship training levels, and other noncombat bonuses. All strategies on beating them requires exploiting AI tactical weaknesses against fortified planets, titans and Caps with AoE attacks, and super weapons.

I personally rarely play above unfair AI, if you can consistently beat unfairs, especially without relying on stabases and those other AI weaknesses mentioned above, you've probably learned all you can from playing the AI. Now you should focus on learning the tricks of the competitive game, either by reading advice on these forums or playing multiplayer yourself.

That said my personal experience with those AIs in Rebellion is that they are very... haphazard. Sometimes they play brilliantly and give you a fight for your life. Other times I can just steam role them 1v1. I'm guessing its the particular AI types that determine this "Aggresive", "researcher etc.", but I'm not exactly sure.

Basically what Goa said. AI (especially higher difficulty ones) get massive advantages. The main weakness of AI is that while they know how to put a decent fleet together (I've found that often they will build large numbers of counters to whatever you have, though it is rarely an optimal fleet comp), they haven't got a clue how to micromanage it. They will simply send all their ships right into range of a Starbase  or other powerful unit instead of staying back and letting only units that can contribute to the fight go in close, like a good player would do. You can exploit that with a well managed fleet to inflict huge casualties on an AI with a relatively small fleet.

That said, Vicious AI are ridiculous, and it's possible that you may not be able to beat them at all, especially if there's more than one ganging up on you. There's a point where it simply becomes impossible to beat Vicious AI, I believe someone said in another thread it's like 3v1? At that point they can simply overwhelm you with sheer numbers and their obscene resource advantages, among other things. So, you may not be doing  something wrong, like Goa said.
