Re: i\'m a political failure!!!
Easiest solution - only Military Alliance or Partnership allow moving ships in another races space.
On the other hand - the AI shouldn't attack anyone it doesn't have a treaty with on sight .. as this hinders the AI players amongst themselves more than the human player, who would protect his ships/colonies anyway.
And for the AI claiming all neighbouring systems automatically - why doesn't this show up when you open the AIs turn and take a peek at the border map, which shows only the colonized systems as claimed ?
