One thing I've noticed is that the Empire will always be hostile towards Nudist Tribes. I checked the game files, and it seems that this is due to Nudist Tribes not being whitelisted as non-hostile to the Empire, so I think this is an oversight, but I remember this being a thing in 1.4, too, so I'm not sure.

My understanding was that the Empire defaults to hostile against all non-player factions to ensure the troop permits are useful. That might be outdated however.
Not quite, the Empire is neutral towards the Civil Outlanders, the Gentle Tribe, and the Space Guild or whatever they're called - just like every other faction that starts the game off neutral. This is the only instance in the game of two factions that start off neutral towards the player being hostile to each other, so it comes across as particularly odd.
