The ruling Federation is determined by the total accumulation of points for all the Starbases in their galaxy belonging to their Federation. Each ruling Federation for each of the 49 galaxies are displayed on a color coded Galactic Map. Players will be able to communicate with Starbases in galaxies farther away as their communications tech level increases. You will be able to read both incoming and outgoing communiques, peace pacts and invitations, which will be saved for viewing at any time. Communiques are limited to 250 characters.
Players can send, receive and accept or reject peace pacts.
An accepted peace pact prevents either Starbase from firing on the other's Starbase or space jets for a specified period of time. In the Invitations area of the communications room you will be able to invite or alternatively be invited into another Federation's allegiance, which you can accept or reject as you please. This type of defection and diplomacy can add strength to your Federation by adding another Starbase's point total to your own Federation's total. The communications room has an additional feature which allows a player to observe vital statistics of other Starbases and space jets around. These vital statistics include the Federation allegiance, technical levels, overall mission status, available supplies level and more.
