Non-restricting borders:
What are borders effectively for, if they don’t prohibit movement of foreign ships/fleets?
Who would ever allow a foreign, potential hostile nation to install/establish a (potential military) colony in its own territory?

Each alone is nothing less than strategic suicide! Combined is even more insane! Apart from that I just don’t like it, having a foreign nation in my territory simply because that is just, only and simply most unrealistic!

So PLEASE, I beg you, implement an option, that prohibits entering another nation’s territory at all, unless these two nations are allied or at war or have a corresponding treaty (a new diplomatic option)! That of course would evoke a very new strategic/tactical element! Imagine a nation which’s territory is in between two other nations which are at war and neither has the allowance to enter/cross this territory.

My 2 cents. Thx 4 ur attention.

I would like to be able to warn/threaten the enemy, though.

Like the option would be to say:
Stop developing around (planet name) and remove your possessions there (ie Colony Ships, Military Vessels, planets), or else!

Then the AI could decide whether or not to honor your warning (averting a war) or to continue building his starbases or colonies there and deal with the consequences.

I think the need for some sort of political borders is very real. This was seen in the transition of civ2 to civ3 in the cultural borders which were implemented. granted they weren’t perfect but they stopped the situation in civ2 where you owned a continent and someone came in and grabbed the one square that wasn’t covered by your cities.

Likewise, it seems crazy that interstellar civilizations would tolerate other civilizations colonizing worlds in their systems. imagine if humans and 9 other civilization suddenly got hyper space travel. do you think humans would accept aliens settling mars? I don't. cohabitation of star systems seems to me to be a valid pretext for war. I don’t think it’s illogical to assume that space faring civilizations would establish areas of controls for space territory similar to what we have for oceans. Further more, these areas would logically include claims on star systems as once you have the ability for faster than light travel and communication planets within star systems are incredibly close.

Once interstellar travel is established planets within ones star system are quite close. to have an alien race drop a colony on one is the equivalent of some one dropping a colony on long island.
