AI too sensitive about "military build up"

from GalCiv3 Forums

If I take a wormhole ride with my Survey Ship, and if it gets ANYWHERE NEAR the AI's borders, the AI will open a dialog and yell at me about my military building up near their borders. It ultimately doesn't mean anything, as I don't get a diplo penalty for it, but it's annoying and immersion-breaking. They should at least ignore ships with a Survey module for that specific dialog.

Sounds like a bug to me, they don't bitch at me with my survey ships, but when my scouts are in there then they whine about it

This could lead to exploits of ships with survey modules being used to infiltrate....

 

Actually, that sounds pretty cool. Plus one op.

I doubt anyone would build fleets and fleets of ships with survey modules just so the AI didn't yell at them. Survey modules take too much space. I'm only suggesting that they ignore survey and scout ships for this one conversation in the first place. Obviously they should still care about them entering their territory if you don't have open borders.

I built my first sniper and sent it to one of my own planets and had one of the minors scream about a military build up lol
