Offering Missions to Allies in Locked Team Diplomacy games to Increase your Relationship

 

In a locked team Diplomacy game, let's say that I am in an eco slot and my pact-ally is on a fighting flank.  Can I offer him missions that he is going to accomplish anyway (destroy 10 of your nearby opponent's ships) in order to boost our relationship?  If I am the guy on the fighting flank, can I offer a mission to my eco-slot pact brother such as, "Feed me 2000 credits," which he's going to do anyway?

What would be the benefit of increasing the relationship?  It seems it would only benefit you to increase the relationship if it's an AI?

The pacts have a minimum relationship required - and to answer the quesiton, I think I read that 10 is the highest you can get with "normal" means.  You can get up to 20 with envoys, and the pacts start hitting at 11.5 and go up all the way as they get better.

*Edit* don't forget that the envoy ship itself has some powerful abilities as well.  The Vasari envoy can double a planets production 1 minute of every 3, and you could have an envoy at every allied planet if you wanted to in addition to the pacts.
