Title: Base species characteristics?
Post by: spoongoon on October 16, 2014, 08:58:57 AM

Quick question.
Do the xenophobia, diplomacy, translation etc. actually do anything?

They should have an impact as far as I know.

Xenophobia has an impact on your relations to other aliens. If you a xenophobic you will increase relations to other races (not your own if you have any other than yours). I'm not exactly sure what Diplomacy does but translation will help with your translations with other races. Sometimes you will not be able to do this and it actually can happen that you fail with ordinary races to, at least I remember that happening to me once.

Xenophobia is an annual penalty to your realtions with all other races.  Diplomacy is an annual bonus to same.  Translation is a bonus on each and every roll to attempt to establish communications with another race.
