Diplomatic requests

I agree.

Also, and probably more simpler, I would like to ask my allies to ally with each other.

I doubt it, Just because you are having a good time with everyone else does not mean that the rest of the galaxy does not hate each other.

Doesn't hurt to ask though, does it? I'd like that option, so that I could form a proper alliance.

Not sure about 'remove ships from my influence' though, for reasons that have been discussed many times before.

Everyone wants diplomatic requests. Wierdos like me want diplomatic contracts with flexible, negotiable terms. The diplomacy system could be improved and become far more useful than it is.

All those suggestions I'd really like to see implemented as well. And the ability to say something like this: Ok, you be a good monkey (drengin), and pay me 100bc a week or my man Joe (HUGE ship of death!!!) will come and break your legs (all defensive fleets owned)!!!

In my current game I could steamroll ANY enemy, yet nobody fears me... Only the arceans could muster a defense, but that is only because they have a higher military rating because of all their defensive units (defenders mostly) while im cruising around in size 4-5 ships

Me FTW!

I agree. Also, and probably more simpler, I would like to ask my allies to ally with each other.

that wud be a gd idea
i get annoyed wen to of my allies go to war on each other n i av to be the peace keeper of the galaxy
allied allies wud solve this problem

You ought to be able to tell or request that other races do the following:
1. Get your damn ships out of my territory or face the consequences.

2. You'd better stop building those freaking influence bases or you will get whacked.

3. Be a dear and form a trade embargo with those icky Drengins? Thanks N-1, much appreciated

*polishes boot*

4. And would you please actually give me those trade goods instead of just pretending to give me them?

And look at my nice new medals

Awwww, they didn't show...

5. Regular tribute. Instead of a one-time payment, it would give a constant relations boost in a similar manner to trading.

also i would like a underhanded function simular to what the computer sometimes does "the ******* are getting to strong, we should do something..." or even a simple "so and so is going to attack you soon, start building up"
i realize i could get the to just decalre war and then i do the same but that effect isnt the same as having an ally build up. if nothing else a way to try to hurt realations between races, say when you have high espionage in both races and your agents cause a political fiasco

I'd like to see an alliance option where I can ask my ally to ally with someone else... Or add an option for a Non-aggression pack where the two parties who sign a non-aggression pack are not exactly allies, but one would not attack the other. but they would not help each other also.

It pretty much comes down to "I'm not gonna be your friend if you won't get along with my other friend" option.

yeah, i want to be able to make a Non Agression Pact!

and, maybe Trade Agreements... Economic Trade to boost freighter revenue, and Research Trade to boost both our research rates.

and Intelligence Treaties, where we exchange maps and share sensor data.

and... oh wait...
