!Starnet Initial Open Borders Patch
A small little mod to make it so that AI’s with "friendly" ethics will choose "Open Borders" as initial contact policy instead of always "Closed Borders", so your science ships don’t keep getting kicked out and then the AI opening borders right after making the kicking out pointless and annoying.
This does NOT make the AI open its borders all the time. This is only the "openness" on very first contact. They will still close borders if they don’t like you as normal.
Also, "unfriendly" empire types will continue to have closed borders as the initial contact policy.
If you want more ways for the AI to be "roleplay-like" instead of "ruthlessly win"-type, I’d reccommend the official StarNet Friendship Patch
