Before this gets fixed, are there any way getting lid out the Ancient Gurardians?
Seems like they don't do anything significant from what I've played so far.
If they are gone, this problem is half solved for time being....

The guardians are a feature of the Return of the Shakturi storyline. How to get rid of them? You can enter the editor and remove anything you like. Or you can have a fun little war trying to wipe them out (which may fail miserably considering their tech).

If you start a new game, disabling the shakturi storyline is the solution.

Hm, this would solve the problem, but I like the shakturi content. Disabling a big part of the game because of a strange behavior of the ships shouldn´t be the final solution for this. Is it so difficult to just implement something to mark a system so no ships can fly in there anymore?

What race are you playing? I'm playing humans and my private ships do go sometimes to Guardian space, but Guardians don't get angry cause they like my race. Also I play with my military ships on manual so they never go to Guardian space.

Yeah this suxs they start right near next to me and I lost 40 ships just trying to take out one of their defense bases. I don't want to disable anything since I just got all of this main game and both expansions but seriously right next to me? Couldn't they have put them distant like I setup all the other ai opponents?

Another workaround while waiting for a fix is giving them mining and military refueling rights in your territory. From that point onwards your automated ships will ignore the Guardians, though of course they will build quite a bunch of mining stations in your territory. Mostly you can even get away with killing off a mining base or two of theirs (if they are at really valuable spots) without them going mental on you. Not ideal, but for me it's a better solution than disabling the storyline totally.

Just FYI, with 1.7.0.5 this should no longer happen.
