What Keeps Neutral AI from Exploring?

Version 1.44:
7. Fixed - Neutral players would sometimes leave their home systems.

IIRC you would jump WPs most times accidentally from time to time before that.

CNC, like Rollo said, make sure that AIs can design and do build some "attack ship", "attack base" or "carrier" early in the game, since only those design types will explore.

You must be right. It was a long time ago I observed this and I did not remember the change in Version 1.44 (and the fix is not explained in much detail, isn't it?). As it is now it seems really impossible for a neutral empire, even if completely under human control, to warp.
