Is it possible to colonise a system that is covered by the area of influence of another empire but not connected to any of their systems through wormholes or phase lanes? A system that just happens to be too close to a controlled planet? Particularly if they are friendly.

Military presence doesn't make a difference is it is an unoccupied planet.

No, you have to begin a war with the player whose area is covering the planet you want, it's pretty frustrating in your case but it's "his" territory^^

An open borders treaty after a peace treaty seems to work, too, I think.

Yes it works but it sounds weird to open boarders with an empire in order to invade another empire^^

Um... It is diplomacy. It is supposed to be weird!

Also you do not invade them! I have to strongly object to such a ridiculous notion. Rather your empire is reaching out in friendship, opening a peaceful outpost of commerce and cultural exchange within that friendly empire's borders.

Depends upon the motivations of the empires involved.

It will be interesting, if you could "buy" non-colonized system from enemy in his influental area..just another option in "diplomacy" part :-)

I approve of the idea of buying non-colonized systems from enemies. For that matter, I approve of the idea of buying colonized ones too. The AI goes berserk if it has a border touching mine anywhere... so if it settles some isolated location distant from its own space but next to mine, I become willing to throw a lot of resources at them in order to get that system on my side before it causes a war.
