New Diplomatic Rules for v4.1

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

- my designs above may not be balanced but I noticed the following happen when my mines went off: the separation range is set to 150k km and the NPR only came within that range of 3 of the mines yet all the mines around the JP released their sub munitions. Then what happened was that only those sub munitions from the 3 mines within range actually attacked. The others lost target and didn't even move 1km - then self destructed. Is that by design? Are they using other sensors on purpose?

I've set this up to test and it is working as it should. Only those mines that can detect the ship by themselves are firing.  What version was it when this happened because I think I have fixed a bug along these lines some time after v4.7

v4.76

These are the mines I mentioned before, were I had to go in and manually enter the sensor resolution and range. It may be best to ignore this for now and then I will test it again if I get around to redesigning the mines with new tech.

Given that you said mines can not change programming after being laid, is it possible to have a "friendly" ship come by and pick them up for re-use/re-programming.  Awful expensive to have to expend them to change the software settings!

Could you clarify how establishing communications is processed?

I know that bit about active sensors and "initiate communication" button but what happens after that?

My current Human race has a translation skill at -24. Am I doomed to no diplomacy at all?

Are race characteristics like Diplomacy, Militancy,..., Trading even used in current version of Aurora?

Even forum search could not provide me details that are probably obvious to old players. This kind of info should probably be incorporated into the wiki; not just a link to this thread from a yet some more links section.

First, I don´t know of all of them, but I´ll share what I know (or belive) to be true

On a related note, when the Diplomacy Team gain experience?

[MarcAFK]

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure it's after any check which improves relations.

But that is exactly what I am looking for Anyway, I updated the Diplomacy. Steve did a superb job here so it was easy,although I probably frakked it up somehow.

I have officers in unassigned diplomacy teams increase their skill all the time, so I think that just being on a diplomacy is enough to potentially cause an officer to spontaneously gain experience. Maybe they have a debate club or a model UN?

A political role play minecraft server perhaps?
