Protectorates and trade/resupply?

[Fyron]

The empire that offers the treaty is the Protector or Subjugator (the "stronger" empire). The empire that accepts the treaty is the one that is Protected or Subjugated (the "weaker" empire).

Hah!

The problem is, I'm the Federation, and I don't think they'd do such a thing to their allies. (I'm using Atrocities Star Trek mod; I found it a good way to get into this game, because it builds on something I'm somewhat familiar with -- it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the unfamiliar stuff in the original game, at least for someone who hasn't played the previous Versions. The mod is a great piece of work, too.)

Has ANY one had the AI agree to any of these?? I have not

Protectorate and subjugation do not allow resupply. In fact, your ships path to avoid each other as if you were enemys. Combat does not result from occuping the same sector, you ships just don't want to. Never checked if planets blockaded each other.

You can remember this by noting, the Subjugation and Protectorate treatys are drawn in yellow, like non-agression. Not green like trade or above, or red like non-intercourse or war.

But it still makes sense that you should be able to supply at your vassal state's depots, doesn't it?

Not really. they are already paying you a tribute. get gas at your own world, or BUY some here. since the game don't have a "buy supplies" option, you go home.

It would only make sense to be able to resupply at their worlds.
