On the SD setting opponent to friend to stop sweeping (and get detonating) a counter mentioned before is to have reserve fleet(s) with orders to suprise gate into the SD's world(s) to counter suprise if set to friend.

I had that idea, too.... So if the enemy is set to friend he cant crashsweep but gate in. So on the planets he might be willing to attack just build a 100/250 gate and the ships that arrive will be heavily damaged and hit by minefields and face the starbase - without chaff no real tactic

Never had the chance to try this, but you are right, a nice idea
