Diplomacy: Could giving be possible?

Would it be possible to add the ability to give? Give ships and/or planets, as well as resources?

Would that help increase the appeal of multi player if a player could join mid game and be given a ship or planet to start up? What if a player wanted to leave and they could hand over their empire to another player rather than leave it to AI?

  Well, unless it's changed, and I certainly haven't tried, it's unfortunately not possible to join a game midgame, without loading a saved game.  If that's done, the new player is most likely to be taking over an AI's position (though obviously not necissarily so), and would already have all the stuff the AI had gained prior.

  Though it would be nice if the ability to join a game already in progress were added.  Or especially rejoin a game should you accidently fall off.

  Although, that doesn't mean it's a bad idea, either way.  It really would be nice to just be able to hand over ships, planets, and whatnot to another player if so desired.  Assuming, perhaps in the case of ships, that they have the fleet capacity to accept them (just to prevent someone from gaining a fleet without the cap at someone else's expense).  Could maybe even have missions related to that sort of thing too.

Too bad. Being able to join a MP game mid way would probably go a long way in increasing it's appeal in Sins. I had been watching an AI War video and he talked about players being able to join mid game. Granted that's a co-op game.
