Noticed today that a player I'm allied with was resting in one of my well-defended systems. He managed to aggress the Xsotan in the system and my system defences just sat back and laughed. IMO an alliance should include a defence pact. That is, generally speaking, your enemy becomes mine and vice versa.
Politics are complex of course. The Xsotan case is simple; everyone starts neutral. In cases where one member has poor relations and the other has good relations, the third party should invoke a temporary case fire; the faction would not attack the player with the poor relations unless they start a fight. If the shooting starts however, the faction becomes hostile to all allied ship and reputation adjustments are made. That would require players to be more thoughtful in who they ally with.
