Simple thing to do in order to improve AI relations with your empire.

It's sorta silly but it works. You just make a small or tiny ship ( tiny is best cost wise..) that has nothing, no weapons, no modules, no defense etc..  you can give it any extra stuff you want. Then you just take a planet and mass produce them. If the AI is leaning towards Hostile with you send them a couple and it will improve your relations with them. Plus side is they don't cost you an arm and a leg. They can't be used against you ( well they can but it's just a 1 hp ship which can't attack or do anything so it's just target practice.. )

  Not that simple;  hull-only ships still cost. :borg:

Tiny unarmed ships are useful for that and also excellent to defend areas out of reach of your main fleets..... That is, if an enemy happens to turn up there, you can then upgrade them in such a way to defeat that enemy fleet or if no enemy turns up, then the maintenance is much less., Oh also if you don't happen to have money for upgrading, they can still be used for delaying the enemy fleet until one of your main fleets can get there.
