Commniication without Contact

My first comment about GALCIV2 is that how can I have communication with all the alien races even before I have contact with any? I remember playing MOO2 and MOO1 and all the CIV games for that matter communication happening ony after contact. In MOO2&1 I remember even losing contact and regaining it later. I think this would be a minor improvement.

Also does not Stardock get in trouble with Paramont with all the Star Trek references?

If you change the initial settings to anything other than unknown in the initial setup screens on relations you will have communication with them (once you have Universal Translator). The thinking on this is; how can a race be friendly, warm, cool, etc. with out *knowing* you.

Stardock gets in trouble with no one. Many more references other than Star Trek in the game.

Yes I guess long distance communication could exist before actual face to face contact.
