[quote who="Code_Geass" reply="3" id="2454754"]Alright. Here are a few suggestions- 1. If your ally has an artifact. You should be able to see what it is. Not necesarilly use the artifact but at least see which one the ally has and which ally. 2. There should be a in game timeline. Like showing events that you have seen. Such as at this point in the game the psi order zealots attacked Provians. Or at this point in time we allied with the Provians. You could put it in the

I'll take a look at this today, as it has been annoying me quite a bit lately.

Reply to Pirates in diplomacy in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Well, I'm glad that at least one person isn't experiencing all the bugs we left for you guys to find. In any case we've tried to make the pirates more of a threat, and we'll be adding a few more fun tweaks to them before release.

We'll be adding more race specific diplomacy tech following weeks.

Reply to Diplomatic Relations Modifiers in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Currently the modifiers are coded in the game as an enumeration, so it's not possible to add a custom relationship modifier.

Reply to So how is the diplomacy beta? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="Astax" reply="14" id="2453719"]The AI right now is not very optimized. I think it might have something to do with a lot of the actual Diplomacy features being left out.[/quote] There was actually a bug in the AI causing it to prioritize some weird things, thus making them much less aggressive. We're looking into fixing this, but rest assured we're going to try and make the upper tier AI as close to Godlike as we can without completely rehauling the AI system.

Reply to [unintended behaviour]Right-clicking on 'give money/ore/crystal' also gives money in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Currently the way we're going to have you "demand" resources is through missions where you ask the AI to give you credits/metal/crystal. Currently the AI has some rather high standards for accepting such missions, but we're looking into it.

Reply to If 'Cease Fire' is selected turn off 'Auto Attack' Automatically! in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Yeah, if killing scouts didn't hurt you much in entrenchment they shouldn't hurt you much in diplomacy, could definitely be a bug though if it's still happening. Be sure to keep us posted with any other weird happenings.

Reply to Diplomacy: so far not so diplomatic in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

We'll be adding some more factors to boost relationship standing in the following weeks. One of my current concerns is how difficult it is to upgrade relationship, so we'll be adding more options to help you make friends. The mission thing is probably due to the AI needing research before being able to offer missions, we might look into changing that up a bit.

Reply to [BUG/CRASH] Minidump on launch related to enabled mods in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Yeah, we're seeing some weird things with installs, and we'll get to the bottom of it as soon as possible. Until then all I can do is ask for your patience when our little beta makes you reinstall stuff.

Yeah, we may revisit the UI at some point if it continues to be a concern. As of now we're trying to make the game stop crashing and more fun, but we will definitely look at this if we should get some time.

Reply to Diplomatic Relations Modifiers in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I currently have some code to hide non-effective (0 point) modifiers, but I may remove that just to make them a bit more clear. We're currently looking at adding/removing a bunch of modifiers over the next few weeks, so we'll post a list when we know which ones we're keeping.

The AI is definitely rough right now, but feel free to post suggestions and observations here, we'll be sure to check in as we move towards polishing their behavior.

Yeah, we changed these requirements a bit, and we'll look at them more some time before leaving to have Thanksgiving dinner with our families. Thanks for the help guys!

We have a couple of neat ideas in mind for additional abilities along these lines. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more info.

Reply to integrate screens in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I'm not sure there's any good way to make these two screens into one. The relations screen is really to give you an at a glance view of some player's relationship with everyone else, and the diplomacy screen has so much stuff on it as is that we didn't want to clutter it more than we had to.

Currently you can only establish embassies on another player's homeworld.

[quote who="Unneta" reply="15" id="2453984"]Okay, a bug for the TEC envoy cruiser. So an AI controlled envoy cruiser comes up to another player's homeworld (also and AI) and put an embassy on it. Except it's still shooting it's embassy rocket things at the planet for at least 6 minuets now. No pics, they'll it'll be pretty useless.
