Diplomacy

Diplomacy is the meeting between two or more teams that usually happens during or after a war within the galaxy.

Players can meet in one of the diplomacy rooms on the three stations and the I.S.S. Scylla. A majority will find Scylla the most convenient to meet at, as it does not require any fuel to get there from their homeworld.

War
An act of the war in Cosmic Pursuit is usually defined either as mass-murder by a member of a different team or an unplanned capture of a territory's flag.

Players should always be prepared for war, even if it does not involve their team.

Players should prioritize defense on the territory that is receiving conflict and even consider attacking the enemy's homeworld.

Never-ending wars can make the game tedious and frustrating for players in the server. Therefore, if one team strongly believes they are winning, they should offer their opponents a chance to surrender. If they decline, the offering team should start a negotiation with them.

Peace
Players can ensure there is peace in the galaxy by making a treaty. They can hold a meeting in a diplomacy room and turn on the holographic map to focus on the territories in question.

If a player is on the losing side of the war, it is recommended not to break any future treaties. Otherwise, another war will start and, unless their team has received copious amounts of sheer military strength, they will most likely lose again, and end up losing more territories in the process.

If a player is victorious, they should remain humble and loyal to the treaty. However, if the enemy team becomes a military powerhouse, it would make sense for the player to take more territories.

Allies
Allies in Cosmic Pursuit are teams who are willing to assist the player's team in a war. However, they are notorious for backstabbing players from time to time.

Betraying an ally comes with a downside, as it allows the new enemy to know the betrayer's (and their team's) weaknesses.

A recommendation for any victims of betrayal is to offer the ally a territory. If a player doesn't want to give up any for free, they should try to negotiate with their allied team's leader to sell any to them via the Exchange Credits button.

Becoming Outnumbered
A situation where players would most likely want to utilize diplomacy is in the case of a "My Team vs the Whole Galaxy" situation.

If the player belongs to a team that has more than half of the server's players, they should continue until the enemy surrenders.

However, if the player's team has less than half of the players on the server, it is strongly recommended for the player and their team to use diplomacy and come up with a treaty, so that they don't get obliterated.

Bad Diplomacy
If players are negotiating and their enemies demand a territory, they are likely to avoid a war if they agree. If the enemy demands ALL of the player's team's territories, negotiating further is the best choice.

Players can sometimes be a little demanding and stubborn when it comes to diplomacy and become hostile at any moment.

If someone is personally insulting you during a war, take a screenshot and contact a mod or admin with the evidence and they will sort it out.
