They will terraform the planet slowly over time. I've seen them set up shop on a T0 and have it turn into a T2. I've also seen them crash their ecology and turn a T3 into a T0. :P

And all the while, they whine at you to do something about it. It would be interesting to find out whether these ecology collapses start happening when you begin an alliance with them, or they happen randomly to any empire while the game is running.
J. M. Pescado:
They seem to happen to everyone, but if you aren't allied, they don't expect you to help. This is why the AI tends to wind up with an empire of T0s: The ecology on all his planets collapses and he's too dumb to do anything about it despite having bajillions of ships that you don't. I don't even see why they bother to ask YOU to defend their planets, honestly, considering that anytime I arrive, there are like 80 ships there and my presence is totally superfluous.
Zazazu:
Because their ships don't do a dang thing. Just like when they cry that so-and-so is attacking them. They seem to always lose if you don't defend them (and I don't...in the games where I'm allying with people, I'm allying with everyone, so the attacker is also an ally).
I like the ally eco disasters until I have the badges I want. Keeps them happy and gets me my shinies faster.
J. M. Pescado:
I've never really seen them lose in a fight specifically because I didn't intervene. There are only a few fights where my intervention makes or breaks the deal, and many more where my intervention appears to be entirely counterproductive, as forcing the combat abstraction into the concrete results in them losing faster regardless of what I do.
