Did using active sensors on them have an immediate impact on our diplomatic relations progress?

I was just staying ahead of the curb.
Range now down to 8.5 m-km. Still holding course and speed. The Fleet is 19 hours and 17 minutes from the jump-point to Sol. All of our defense forces have him cross-fired and zeroed. We'll just see what he wants.
In fact, it's your RADAR base that I'm using to paint him. I'm only revealing a couple of bases, keeping the other ones stealthed. (Why reveal two bases instead of one? I don't want to lose track of him to a random component breakdown.)
Not yet. Relations a bit over +161.

Range down to 3.9 m-km. He'll be close enough to hit with our PD batteries, soon! Still holding course and speed for Earth.
... I wonder if he's planning to drop off an Intel team? Alien Spies?

Range down to 1.65 m-km. He is now so close that we would spot even a size-1 missile the instant he launched it.
I wonder if he really DOES intend to land?

But why send what appear to be a battlefleet to land?
Unless they're really benevolent aliens coming to share their technology with us (...right)...
If we were playing against a human, I'd suspect a feint meant to draw out attention away from something else?
Could they have ships in Procyon already? Presumably our fleet there would have spotted them...

He has crossed the orbit of the Moon, still headed inward. No change in course or speed.
Any ship can land a five-man espionage team.

Oh, I do not question that. I'm more questioning...why mobilize a very unsubtle combat fleet (or what appears to be one) to carry out that sort of mission? But then again, if an invasion fleet, why are they closing so much? Charlie's behavior here makes very little sense.
There IS always that possibility, yes - that this is the AI...trying...to be subtle.
The Charlie ships landed, then almost immediately took off again. They seem to be making for the jump-point to Ross 248. I must suspect that they've dropped off an Espionage team.
All forces remain on full alert.
Should we form a team of Spies on Earth, and see if we can Counter-Espionage and maybe round those dudes up? Not sure what they look like... if you see anybody with six eyes and tentacles asking where the Naval Dockyard is, call the police.

Yeah, that seems the reasonable conclusion.
Nice of the AI to be oh so very transparent about it.

Outrageous! Do we have an internal security minister? We need to round up those spies and and interrogate them!
Well... that was pretty tense. A good training drill for our bases and Fighter Squadrons, though. I managed to figure out some aspects of this insanely complicated interface.
Not sure if counter-espionage is even possible, but we might as well give it a shot. I'll form a team headed by Vonyx to search for them.
EDIT:
OK, we've got a five-member team, headed by our Player-character spy Vonyx, searching the Earth to locate those clowns. Not sure if Counter-Espionage is even in the game, but we might as well try it.
Is everyone agreed that the Charlies really did drop off a Spy team? It's the only explanation I can think of that makes sense of their actions. We might have panicked and SHOT at those ships!

At least we're not facing a really sneaky opponent. When he decides to spy on us, he gives us lots of warning.
Yeah, but that's just a randomly-chosen graphic from the data base. It might as easily have been a picture of a vase of flowers instead.
