Its not like thats not a "real" tactic. A friend moves ships in past your mines then suddenly declares war? Whats the clue? how many ships? the size? True for realism it probably should only allow one small bombed "terrorist" ship.
Actually it is a real tatic. Japan moved their entire fleet within airstrike distance of Pearl Harbor without detection. While Japan did not intend to attack without a declaration of war, they did make sure thier fleets and armies were in a position to strike as soon as war was declared.
You as the other nation seeing all these warships approach your planet/sector/territory should be screaming diplomaticly for them to remove their ships. If they do not then prior to them hitting the minefield you should cancel your treaty. Of course, some empires wont be strong enough and have to swallow the loss of the planet, but it is a real tactic. There are a number of times in history that a battle was fought and won or lost due to the ability to pre-position troops under the cloak of friendly relations.
