[v1.0.2 (fc5e)] Sudden border jump.

[SunderSion]

edit: [REBUTTED]

The borders of my neighboring AI (green colored) nation have suddenly expanded unprecedentedly (see picture to the right of the red line I placed to illustrate the borders right before it happened).

As you can see there is no supporting structures to justify the borders where they are on the picture, no new colony was established and no new outpost built.

The borders were on the red line, and suddenly, next instance it moved to the left of the red line onto my two separated blobs of land grab for no apparent reason.

It did not gradually grown, it was literally back behind the red line one moment and *bam* it is now several light years bigger!

Possibly they just finished researching Manifest Destiny,

I assume this is a tech that provides border % increase, it is still suspicious since the borders jumped only in one particular direction (not expanded all over their territory) and in a such shape that would possibly be if you build in Atmir and Phonok systems respectively.

Maybe have a save file so others could look into it?

Oh waaait
I am sorry

I just declared war on them to be able to access the territory. The AI, built THREE outpost stations right behind my land grabs simultaneously haha. I did not realize that outposts do not show up on the galactic map until you scout them.

Darn it, I was outsmarted by a sneaky move by an AI, did not catch any of the three constructor ships only one on its way back blipped on Pollux radars haha.

Sorry close the issue, my bad !

P.S. hm, so that's what I get for neglecting that radar tech
