Bug or feature? Trading before relations

Can trade with all civilizations before meeting

from GalCiv2 Forums
Clicking on foreign stats, then relation tab. It's empty because I haven't met anyone.

But you can just hit ctrl+1 through ctrl+0 and tada you can now trade from turn 1.

Is this the reason that by the time I meet another civilization they have tons more techs.. and as I meet more they have already tech traded up to be equal? or is this just a human to AI interaction bug and the AI still behaves and waits till they meet?

I think that might be an exploit for human players. *bump for dev to take notice*

What exactly does that rant have to do with the other poster. A lot of people are playing this game without many problems. A few crashes here and there but nothing major. It sounds like the majority of people having crash problems need to patch there game and update there drivers.

A good observation, Deamhan Faerie.
I wouldn't rule out that this works for the AI in some way, too.
