alliances where .m files are shared, is that it becomes another disincentive to change the diplomatic landscape by invoking whatever NAP exit you decided - since they'd see any build up that you did prior to then (to get a lead in the inevitable arms race while you wait for the NAP to time out,) and they'd also have so much info about your econ that you probably never really wanted to share - so they know your softest, juiciest spots without needing to have actually done any work to figure it out.

So being able to share similar amounts of data, but have it not be 100% trustworthy, would add a little more of the paranoid 'looking over your shoulder' that I don't think happens enough in Stars!

Some alliances share planet/fleet dumps instead of m files, since dumps can be edited to trim "unneeded" details. Twisted Evil



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
