Refueling at non treatied bases.

I think this is a bug,you ask the ships to refuel at nearest source and it will refuel at an empires race,which causes all sorts of problems.I think if it not a bug it should be changed so you can only refuel with races that have a mutual alliance.

lol I just had ships refuel at a planet they were attacking. I hope they didn't have to pay for full service. [:-]

Agree with this, I am constantly getting bombarded with diplomatic screens telling me they do not tolerate my military presence in x,y & z systems...

The AI seems excessively touchy about this, like his priorities are backwards. I, for instance, am traditionally relatively unconcerned about the presence of a stray military craft, but would become very concerned if I saw a Constructor or a Colony Ship, as this means that YOU ARE BEING INVADED. A stray military craft is probably just an explorer, a patroller, or a pirate hunter, and means no real harm, but the presence of a constructor or colony ship in your space represents an intentional attempt to violate your territory.

Many times I have seen entire fleets refuel at my bases that belong to empires I do not have mutual defense pacts with. I don't complain, however the AI is on my butt as soon as a single military ship from my empire decides to refuel in their systems.

Perhaps a diplomatic option for an "Open Borders" treaty might help?

That sounds like a good idea codearchitect. I wonder if having a free trade agreement though is essentially the same thing. Regardless, ships shouldn't go to empires you have no treaty with.

[Interesting]

The players should have the option.

We need an option regarding to refuelling. A way to automate just that, and how, where, when, etc.

Still having issues with this after the patch.My fleet of doom decides to refuel at a hated enemys base.
