The only time I had a neutral do this, however, was way back in the SE4 Beta when the neutrals kept wandering out of thier systems.

Funny, however, they blew up thier own system on accident. I was no where near thier territory (minus a few cloaked escorts) when it happened. Oh well, I was able to save 50 ships I set aside for an invasion of thier empire and take down the insideously cute Eee....

BTW, a well designed Battleship or Dreadnought can be made into a one-ship warfleet. I was able to severely cripple an entrenched AI by simply skirting a DN around thier defenses and picking off ships and planets.
