In response to pirates attacking my freighters and mining stations, I added weapons to my civilian designs for a little self defense capability. Unfortunately, in my current game, the AI players have started to accuse me of sending military ships into their territory. When I've checked this out, all I can find is my armed freighters. Should the AI really be considering these ships as military vessels just from having weapons?

You bring up an interesting point. Even real world situations like civilian merchant crews wanting to arm themselves against the somali pirates is one example. International Law has some issues with this, because these civilian trade ships are going into national waters.

The same can be said for DW empires. So maybe there should be a diplomatic option where you can allow freighters to be armed up to a certain firepower.
