Simple. Trade alliance let them past your sats on warp points. Military alliance let them refuel and explore. Partnership gave them vision.

End result ... they saw what you have, and got jealous.

I never go above trade and research with an AI. There's more in it for them than for me. On PBW, I actually ask people -- "You want a military alliance -- OK. How are we aligning our military, and against who?"

I could stand some more official treaty types -- short duration research, 10 turn duration refueling treaty, 1 turn line of sight.
