[Deathstalker]

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet already but how about warp point 'ownership'? (maybe once an outpost/starbase/whatever is built there??) In this I mean an Empire owns that specific warp point and can charge $$ for other Empires to use it (tarriff) or can even refuse entry (even to allied Empires, refuse colony ship access etc , this could of course raise that empires anger level or even have the empire decide to shoot its way though ,etc) or grant entry though defenses (even though a treaty is currently not signed to avoid a fight etc). I would just love to keep my systems MINE, enough of the overly friendly AI colonizing planets in my system!

That and AI's that will actually go through with their threats (ie, break treaty with race x or we will punish you....etc)
