Does anyone respect borders?

Still early in the game, but I don't like everyone flying through my space. Do the other empires eventually respect borders?

The coloured area are not your borders, it is your area of influence. Going for an influence victory entails spreading that area to encopass enemy worlds and converting them to your side without invasion.

Technically the only borders you have are the parsecs your planets occupy.

Quite right.

If you're feeling especially paranoid, station single ships (or more ideally, entire fleets) a parsec apart from each around your worlds so as to tempt fate from any idiot that would attempt to charge your fortifications.
