ok a few questions about diplomacy (the game mechanic)
- does a trade alliance allow your trade ships to dock at the ally's ports, and vice versa?
- what is the point of a peace treaty?
- how many envoys should i build and send to my teammates' planets?
- how do players use diplomacy online? the ai is kind of odd about it, the last game all of the ais except one had peace with me even when they were fighting each other.
-are pacts worth it?
