Maybe they should install debris fields, since that's what the AI keeps placing in my warp points when they try to go through.
(Actually, I've had the AI start getting rather nasty with minesweeping. They still don't send minesweepers in as fleets, but those dreadnought-sized sweepers can take huge chunks out of my minefield. I think the race attacking me could have done more if they'd not been at war with the 2nd place race (the Eee) as well.)

come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless
eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your
associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
