ORIGINAL: Haree78 Ok which leads me to my next questions. So the pact is of no use if my enemy just attacks me without declaring war? Also you say I can do it if they declare War on me? How do I do it in that case then? One of the interesting things is that DW allows a sort of skirmish to happen without a formal declaration of war. You can have your ships fire on any other empire's ships and even destroy a few ships with out a state of war. Reload your game (if you can), and do the same thing back to the aggressor without declaring war. Attack his outpost, and make him be the aggressor. Like a previous poster said a MDP is exactly that, it is not an Alliance. No need to get into skirmishes, this can lead to big drops in your reputation if you hit some of the civilian bases and ships. Instead just use politics and stick them with trade sanctions along with some demands of them will soon aggravate your chosen aggressor into declaring war on you. Or by building a mining station in their territory and leaving a small task force to guard it mean you incur the "remove your military ships" wraith. These things combined well and timely can drop your diplomatic status just as fast as attacking them without warning but you don't suffer the rep loss, rep takes too long to gain to risk throwing it away.
