I noticed that combat between ships is possible without descending to a state of war. There seems to be some neutral space in which combat is semi-permitted, as this screenshot also demonstrates:

"you engaged in combat with their fleets on neutral space"

What is this neutral space? Is it systems with no colonies?

  • Probably any system that isn't owned by you, them, your allies or their allies. That would include unowned systems and systems owned by third parties.

Unsettled systems are considered neutral.

Performing combat in one of these areas (such as killing a scout ship) is not as deter-mental as an attack on their system. It also doesn't automatically trigger a declaration of war.

Any system without a planet (such as a wormhole) will always be considered neutral.
