Thank you but that is not working unfortunately. The score was negative to begin with as the two races were in space combat before with ships lost on both sides. The other side actually perceives this one as hostile. However even if I set the DR to -10 000 nothing changes. If I set DR to 5000 or so I can choose for the sides to be friendly or allied but there is never a neutral or hostile option no matter what I do with DR or communication. In fact the only reason I know the status of those two races is because contacts update tell me whether or not the contacts are hostile or neutral but other than that there is nothing in the diplomacy screen that would indicate status.
Edit: I went ahead and created a couple of races in the game and the options magically appeared. Seems like some kind of a very weird bug. I won't be reporting it however as I did some modifications to the DB and while it had nothing to do with diplomacy, contacts or anything of the sorts I'd rather not risk the bug was due to said modification. Thanks for trying to help anyway
Wait, so the aliens were showing hostile to your ships, but now are not showing hostile to your ground forces?
Are the aliens definitely in range of an active sensor on your side? Do you have positive ID of their empire & class types or is some ingormation showing as 'unknown'?
