since Lupusman was able to get system nebula abilities on a component, i contend that there is a way to make it work. I will post a test Version as soon as there is one.

if one race is blocading a planet, a thrid race can cruise in and join battle with the two others. i have actually done this before. similarly, you could invite an ally so share orbit of one of your worlds and help provide defense. a corrdinated attack, however, is not possible unless one is strong enough to keep orbit and wait for the second race to help knock out ground defenses with troops or whathave you.

as for the comments about the AI, youre probably right, but its worth a shot.
