"Demand gifts from opposing factions"?

Hey,

So I noticed you now have to have research in order to send resources to other players.  However, the research infocard also seems to imply that you can ask for resources from other players ... how does that work?

You have to "offer them a mission" of giving you money, which they can then reject outright.

I think its kind of ridiculous that they can reject a demand outright.

I'm not sure how it works with the AI but rejecting a demand for providing gifts usually has dire consequences. Perhaps the AI is more receptive to following demands if the player requesting has a larger army than the other side?

I wanted to use this as a way of goading AI players to unaffiliate with me so I could attack them. Or in the very least, antagonize them when they're being beaten into the ground. Better than them offering a trade agreement with me when it's down to the last planet at any rate.

 

There's reasearch items for this (demanding resources) for at least the Advent, but when you "Request mission" of another faction there is no option for demainding resources from them: just attacking a planet.
