Savable Treaties
 

A feature request:

Have the ability to save/load a named treaty, with all it's customized items. So they don't have to be re-invented every game.

First contact? Just load up your carefully designed "First Contact Scenario" treaty proposal. Or maybe you have a couple paths in mind: First Contact - Probable Enemy, First Contact - Probable Ally.

That is one of the best ideas I have heard yet, these treaties should be saved with your empire file.

Re: Savable Treaties
 

Empire files are a bad place to store this stuff.

Who cares what shipset you're playing with right now? That's not going to change the treaties you want to load.
Same with ship designs. SE3 did this right with its saved designs being completely independent.

Well, if you always RP a particular personality for each shipset, it might come in handy; aggressive, warlike empires don't really have much use for the "Daisy Flower" trade ship now do they? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Savable Treaties
 

Another useful reason to have treaties (and also ship designs) as separate files, is so we can post, tune and trade them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
