Yep. making the diplomacy settings public would ruin the shadowed machinations that help make Stars! so fun. It's debateable whether the race to which your settings apply should get to know about them, third parties should absolutely not. Some settings, like share scanner data, would be obvious; others, like whether to reveal cloaked fleets, would not. It could be interesting to keep "reveal cloaked fleets" on while you build a warfleet, send it into enemy territory, and then uncheck the box and make your fleets suddenly vanish.

On second thought, if cloaks could be turned on/off on a fleet by fleet basis (perhaps SS only?), it could open up FUN possibilities as far as baiting interceptors into ambush or luring them away from your main force. Lurking Be paranoid.

Also, SS minefields should be 75% cloaked. Twisted Evil
