[Barnacle Bill]

The #1 thing I want is fix for the AI issue regarding claims of systems and colonization. If I make a treaty that prevents me from shooting them and lets them through my minefields, I want it understood that for the duration of the treaty they will not colonize in a system which I claim but they don't, and will not claim a system I already claim (or reclaim it if they "give" it to me).

I realize that something has to be done about conflicting claims when the treaty is established. I favor making resolutrion of conflicting claims a requirement for the treaty offer - in any diplomatic message requesting a treaty higher than NI every contested system has to be covered as part of the deal package (either the side sending the message offers to "give" it or the requests that the recipient of the message "give" it).
