Ive noticed when I was playing that getting allies in galciv2 was real easy. It finally dawned on me that in galciv1 you had to be "close" to form allies, and now I can form alliances when the AI is "friendly". There was only one time the game did no not give me an alliance option when the AI was friendly, and that was with the Torians. I had to wait to we were close. Is this a bug or working as intended.
