3-14-2012. With the start of PW and MW we are now putting some changes and features online!

1. Instant pmode
=> as the name suggest; pmode will now trigger instantly when the requirements have been met. The requirements to be brought into pmode remain the same but you don't have to wait until the tick before the galactic protection comes to your help. We hope this change will prevent the individual player to be hit too hard that he or she loses interest.

2. NAP signing change
=> To prevent abuse all nap propositions are withdrawn if any attacks are made after the nap was proposed.

3. Check allies > Check relations
=> The check allies operation is now changed and also renamed to check relations. Instead of telling you the allies it will tell you all the relations your target family has. Difficulty has been slightly increased and you can only cast this on the leader of the family.

4. Surrender option disabled after recent attacks
=> From now on you can't delete if you have done any attacks or ops in the last 24 hours. You can still be killed off.

5. Soldiers and Droids changed statistics
=> Due to multiple comments about the weak attacking statistics of the soldier we have decided to change the statistics after SD ends.
Statistics will be:
Droid: 6/7 Soldier 5/6
Previously:
Droid 7/4 Soldier 2/7

6. Planetary rules system
=> This is a new system where leaders can agree to create a rule for specific systems or specific planets. These rules will allow attacks on the systems/planets in question even if you are napped. This way core intrusions or planet payments can still be done even if you are already napped.

Detailed explanation:

On the relations page you will now find a new link called: Diplomatic planet agreements.
Here you will find a list with families you have relations with (lets call this the: "PRF list") and you can click on them to see which rules that may be for that family (lets call this the: "PRF details") On those pages you will find three things:

1. Your proposals to other families
2. Requests from other families to your family
3. Active agreements.

Making an agreement:

1. You choose a system or 1 single planet
  1a. a system is chosen by typing in the system coordinates but leaving the planet field empty or placing a '*'
  1b. a single planet is chosen by typing in the system coordinates and filling in the specific planet number in the planet  field.
2. you select which way the agreement works. Options are:
  2a. Only the proposing family can attack on the coordinates specified in the agreement.
  2b. Only the receiving family can attack on the coordinates specified in the agreement.
  2c. Both families can attack in that system.
3. You choose which family you want to make this agreement with.
  3a. if you are on the PRF details page you won't have to fill in a family as it will choose the family on the PRF details page.

Only leaders can propose, accept, decline and cancel agreements. Cancelling agreements can't be done until 48h have passed after the agreement was signed by both parties.
