2- I've cause some battles by moving a ship on an ennemy ship. Sometimes the computer warn me that, doing that, there would be a battle, sometimes not (erspecially on warp points, I think). Why ?

4- What is the best way to declare a non aggression pact ? I made very ressources gift to an alien race, but they keep on refusing my treatie requests...

Bonjour mon ami et bienvenue au forum SE IV!

Neither English nor French is my native language, but I think I will continue in English as French is more difficult to write (at least for me).

2.) Usually you get a warning in turn based game before entering into a sector where a combat will start. The exception is as you already realized when you warp to the other side of a warp point. Then you just drop in the middle of the sector and the combat begins.

4.) Gifts are a good way to improve the mood of AI races in order to get a treaty. But there are some AI races that are very xenophobic and will almost never accept a treaty.
