Another Alliance question(possible bug) |
So I am on friendly terms with a neutral race. After a while, they join an Alliance I am at war with. I try to attack the once neutral race, but no combat occurs, I simply occupy the same hex as the neutral race's planet. He has a bunch of orbital stations around the planet too. I check and they show up as an ally race for me. Which they had been; but now after joining an Alliance I am at war with, should they not now be enemies with me?
Also, in the communication screen, I can communicate with the Allinace, but NOT with any of the 5 races WITHIN the Alliance.
I notice that there is a request/demand option that calls for a race to leave a particular Alliance. But it is of little use if I can't talk with any of the races inside the Alliance. Am I doing something wrong, or might this be a bug?
Regarding the same sector
Regarding the same sector problem, do you have a non-agression treaty (all systems) with that race, if so that will allow you to occupy the same space without combat ensueing. Nit sure about the whole Alliance thing to be honest thou, I tend to avoid them because i know they still nee a lot of work to sort out.
i guess it´s a bug
i had the same problem in two of my games.
the point where the bug is seems to be the alliance.
whenever a player joins an alliance the whole diplomatic things seems to be messed up.
whatever diplomatic status you have with the alliance is not being used in the game.
all what matters is your diplomatic status you had with the single empire before it joined the alliance.
Yeah I have no cloaking
Yeah I have no cloaking devices or other such devices on my ships. So I guess it must be a bug. Thx for the responses. 
Alliance Communication
I don't know if being unable to communicate with individual empires within an alliance is a bug or not, but it sure is annoying. If that is the way it's supposed to work, I would like to see it changed. By the way, you can't communicate with the individual empires that are in the same alliance as you are in either.
I've never experienced the same sector issue you are talking about, but I'm pretty sure what you are describing happens if you are cloaked. So, you might make sure you don't have any components such as stealth armor, totems, or cloaking devices, etc. on your ship. Other than that, I don't have any ideas.
