Don't ask me why, but the Xenos let my ships leave alive after I stumbled into their territory and took a failed potshot at a colonizer. When I returned several turns later with tougher ships and a tightly-organized fleet, they sat in place and let me shoot them without shooting back.
I feel a bit like I'm kicking a Xeno while they're down. Doesn't stop me from trying to kill them all though.

They attack now, but still have odd moments of staring into space... pun intended.

That's a bug in the AI -- you're just outside their claimed territory and they cannot "see" you, even though you can Torp them. First, I made up the rules. Then I put the rules into code. Then I wrote more code to play the game. It isn't very good at it yet  |

It also gives you an option to fall back. Future Scout and Templar ships will be able to help you identify the xeno infestations, and even drive them back! |

Yeah but I just used autopilot on the fighters. The second set of colonies are on the other side of a few Xenos planets. Fighters just went right through their backyards.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
