call me a neatnick but i have a particular set up for how i want my bases set up.  then my allies start building stupid crap right in my main base area and mess up my feng shui.  is there any way to stop that or is that just part of the game engine.

Personally I just destroy any allied AI ships that entire my base, since they're usually coming to steal my resources (you can attack allies by manually pressing attack, under orders, or hitting A, the hotkey, then clicking the allied ship). Of course doing this with real players would probably get some complaint .

I usually just return the compliment and go and mine my allies moons.  Besides, actually a very good strategy.  If either your base or your allies base gets wiped you have a safe harbor.

When me and my mates used to LAN play against AI playing AOE once we had a few workers produced we would send a worker off to an allies base to sit at the back "just in case".  There is always the possibility that an early rush getting doubled teamed by the AI could do some serious damage before an ally could help out.

I'm quite fine with them in my base, they are allies after all.
