Return to Orion- Sphereworld PBW game.

Exactly. In fact we had a game a while back with four man teams and research was multiplied 4X in effect, but it was a big hassle coordinating it all. I think in retrospect such a team game would have been better just starting as high tech. But that's just my opinion. Some people prolly get a kick out of it. And I like research myself, I just get annoyed having to do all the trade Messages back and forth.

Maybe if SEIV had another level of treaty beyond partnership that did this automatically I could go for it. Subjugation treaty transfers tech automatically from weaker to stronger. You'd just need a new treaty that would do this both ways. What would you call it though?

A Union treaty maybe? Let each other view each other planets, and cargo, automatically transfer resources by simply clicking a slide bar somewhere, without having to send an offer and wait for it to be accepted. View each others communications both ways, although not be able to send comms for each other. Maybe even be able to take population and cargo from each other by simply loading it from their planet to your ship. Give control of a ship or fleet to the other, without losing ownership. (That Last one I have heard before. That would be a nice feature without having to have a Union Treaty)
