Currently you start your relationship with another empire in "cold war".

Which is a bad way to start unless you are a warmonger (which you could be).

Peace needs to be researched (which is stupid but a separate topic) so is not an option from start..

There should be a new diplomacy state called "Neutral".

The effects would be:

State	Battles inside influence zones	Battles outside influence zones	Attacking outposts	Borders	Trade	Sharing vision or Empire details
War	Allowed	Allowed	Allowed	Closed	Closed	Nothing
Cold war	Starts war	Allowed	Allowed	Closed	Closed	Nothing
Neutral	Starts war	Starts cold war	Starts cold war	Opened	Allowed	Allowed
Peace	Starts war	Starts war	Starts war	Opened	Allowed	Allowed
Allies	Starts war	Starts war	Starts war	Opened	Allowed	Allowed

One point I am still not sure about is if in cold war attacking an outpost (not a colony) should be allowed or an act of war.

It is in a way attacking another empire but in the same way is attacking ships outside of influence zones.

It is not a mistake that when in neutral state attacking outside influence zone or an outpost shifts to cold war only.
If you are at peace then something like that is an act of war.

If you are neutral consequences are not so big.

Do you mean borders whith "boarders" ?

In this case, when you talk about border closed/open, you mean we can have a diplomatic send to allow player to travel in the other player space ? Borders are not really closed when at war

Yes there was a typo. Fixed it thanks.

With borders I meant that it should be the default setting when you are in that state.

True that for war it doesn't make sense as you don't case about border close and just invade.

But it makes sense for "cold war".

This is just a default setting and trough diplomacy you can change that.

So you could have peace and closed borders for whatever reason but still allow for trade.

It would also be good to have exploration ships as a separate type.

So that you can say closed borders to attack ships but we allow for explorations ships to pass.
