Possible Work a Round:
Use Intel to force a revolt
Then get them to surrender.
With a human it would require co operation.
With the AI, You would have to hope the AI would surrender befor wiping out the rebels.

Yeh, along with topping up the points.

I think this is a fairly recent change, too. I can remember being able to start my intel defenses before I had actually met any other races.

You are correct Baron Munchausen.
In 1.49 - you can start Defense Projects before you meet anyone. I think you can even do it before you build any Intelligence Centres, not that you earn any defense points.
