Make the Lodestone Systems neutral zones!!

it is as simple as the title. To prevent having to break alliances change your whole diplomatic ties to finish the academy quest, make all the lodestone systems neutral ground. So any fleet can engage any other!

If you have to take on a allied members fleet, you should be penalized in some way, influence econ, dust, maybe cost of the fleet given back from your empire on a per turn dust number taken from your own...  The details are negotiable. But some kind of pennance.

Most importantly make the lodestones neutral so you can destroy whoever needs to be destroyed.
