I wish that you could gain some friendliness for giving them resources though; perhaps have the benifets decrease depending on how much resources they have, and how much you've given them. it was my first attempt at diplomacy and they backstabbed me? must happen pretty frequently. i'd much rather keep my resources and credits and kill everyone.

Title says it all. This is an attempt to convince Stardock to craft us all at least one Single Player Campaign. (Preferably one for each race, but at least one) Please? I really enjoy them, and I can't be the only person who does. So, who's with me? Thanks! Just a /signed would be great to show Stardock we are interested!

I have only attempted diplomacy once, and they attacked me for no reason. (I was only fighting pirates to level my capital ship at the time) I think the diplomacy is broken right now.
I too was a bit taken aback at how this game plays. I was expecting a much faster game experience. It's still a great game, but it is not an RTS in the traditional sense. Even on Fast setting, the game would be painfully slow to someone who is expecting "Company of Heroes in Space". That said, I am actually really enjoying it.
