"Military Tension" prevents trade with own planets

Enemy Within?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Not a bug per se, but an oddity nonetheless:
I am playing as the Terran Alliance, struggling for control of Kwilas I - a nice planet currently under Altarian control. I am going for the influence route, and my strategy final comes to fruition when the Altarians join the Torians for a campaign against the Drengin.
The colony is mine - and my corporate trading partners are sad to inform me that "due to military tension", trade with the planet could not continue.

Maybe the game could check for the reason for trade-route cancellation and select a message accordingly?

Regards

When a planet is capture, all trade routes to and from are killed. When you are at war, all trade routes with a certain race decease, and if the freighters themselves get attacked it's the same

Yeah. You can't trade with your own planets. But it's silly that the trade routes are cancelled because they "have become too dangerous". I agree that an another message would be in order.

Other races trade routs do stay when you capture a planet (as long as you are not at war with them too, of curse)

Which is silly. They if any should be cancelled because of military tension.

Naw, the trade routes from other civilization should stay, just as they do in the real world...where do you think all those arms come from, and the food and goods to make the captured planet happy?
