I have some friends in my universe, a race that is called the Deviant Consciousness or something, and after 50 years of inspired diplomacy I persuaded them to ally with me. (In spite of me abusing them quite a bit early on, I killed one of their ships and pirated another one). They have no sciences I can benefit from, but they gave me a lot of survey data some time ago.
Anyway, is it safe to disband the diplomacy team that has made this happen?
Also, I haven't found their whereabouts yet. So I plan to send out some sensor ships to find them. What sensors are best for detecting the home worlds and bases of other races? And can I take it for granted, that if they lived in my surveyed worlds I would have found them with my survey ships? Both my geo and gravy survey ships have small thermal sensors, but no EM sensors.
Thanks.
