MEE stands for Mega Evil Empire. A human player becomes MEE when their score both exceeds 500K and is 170% of the score of the second place player. Once you become MEE, every race in the galaxy will get so angry with you that they declare war on your irrespective of what level of treaty you may have had with them before you became MEE.

In my games, I manage to keep the AI extremely happy with me by simply staying out of his systems. I try never to build a colony in a system with another empire's colony if I can help it. When my ships enter systems with foreign colonies, I immediately reverse course. From what I've seen, the AI gets much angrier with my ships in its systems and my colonies in its system than it does over 'lusting' after my planets. (Of course, I guess if he can't *see* my planets, then this won't upset him?)
