Allied ships freeing AI Ships?

[BobTheJanitor]

I can't find the topic now, but I seem to recall when the changes to allies was made (so that they would patrol to nearby worlds) one of the points made was that they shouldn't be freeing ships and causing them to attack my planets. Well I just watched some human resistance fighters go into a nearby world and blow up a carrier, and then a bunch of AI ships came over into my world and started wrecking my tea party. Is this a bug somewhere, perhaps related to the carrier? Just lost a Mark IV Ion cannon to it.

Although minor factions cannot free ships by their mere presence or attack, they can indirectly free ships by killing something a ship was gaurding, like a guard post. When a guard post dies, everything that was guarding it is freed, regardless of how the post was killed, or who killed it.

Dyson gattlings are, thankfully, smart enough not to attack guard posts, but human resistance fighters will attack guard posts.
