Diplomacy
Communication Attempts
There are two additional constraints on attempting communication with alien races in C# Aurora.
- 1) Translation checks will only take place if both sides have a status of "Attempting Communication". In other words, you can't translate their language if they refuse to talk to you.
- 2) For translation checks to happen, both sides must have ships and/or populations in the same system and both sides must be able to detect the other. Detection in this context is Thermal or EM for populations and Active for ships. So you must effectively announce your presence and stay there if you wish to attempt communication (or show the aliens the way to another system for communication attempts).
This should add more realism and a little more tension to first contact.
