Diplomacy, limited wars, etc...

[Nitram Draw]

I agree with Barnacle Bill. I would like to see some "ground rules" , for lack of a better term, for conquest and diplomacy.
If you conquor a planet it should take some time to come over to your side. Maybe leaving troops/ships would speed the process.
I also would like top see some rules concerning surrender.
You can stay at war forever without penalty. This does not make sense.
In this game you can surrender and then one turn later attack the same player. There is no benefit to accepting a surrender if you are winning the war.
There should be some way of placing terms are binding on a surrender.
There also should be guidelines for subjection and protectorate.
I think some of this is to be addressed in the next patch. I hope so.
