However I fear to remove my fleet incase the Eee decide to be ignorant and break their treaty...frickin little specks anyways...I have asked them several times to leave and they won't. I don't want to forcibly eject them sooooo....opinions?
Yep, sounds like they might decide to attack if your fleet leaves the system and gets damaged/destroyed elsewhere. Then the AI would recalculate its relationship to you and decide that you were ripe for harvest. This is what WPs and Satellites are for. You should be building them all the time, stocking up even when you don't have immediate needs for them. It's much better to use your "excess" resources than let them be generated & 'lost' even if you aren't playing a limited resources game. A large supply of WPs and Sats can make a good sized planet VERY tough to take out. If you don't have any, you'll have to keep that fleet around while you build some.
