Neutral ships leaving their system

I got to thinking, and I thought it would be kind of cool if you could form treaties like in BOAF with the neutral players, and gain their special racial tech or whatever. Also, a definate must, keep their ship designs. I think it should be based on the majority of the type of people on a planet.
Also keep their racial modifiers for those new ships built by them for you.

If you distroy all their planets but not all their ships, they will move off to their allies system. I have not tryed giving them a planet outside their system yet.

I tried giving neutrals planets outside their system and they always send out ships to defend their newly received planets. Weird?

Man, and they told me being a janitor was the safest job in the navy!

I once had a killer StarBase at a strategic WP (I don't use mines aginst the AI) go 'Bye-Bye' across the map and into a black hole system. At least it mercifully ended 3 turns later....

I had a game where one of those anomolies took one of my construction base and sent it across the galaxy. Wouldn't be that big of a deal except that this construction base was almost finished building a baseship that took almost two years to build! Thats annoying.
