* <F4><C3>         DIPLOMACY (F7)
+ 
+ <F2><C1>
+ You can use diplomacy to talk to other races you have discovered. You
- can discover other races by finding their planets or meeting their
- fleets on the starmap. The options available to you through the 
- diplomacy screen depend on your relationship with the other race. If 
- you are at war, your choices will be limited compared to those 
- available when you are allied, If you are allied with another race, 
- their planets and radar range will appear on your Starmap, which is 
- very useful for expanding your knowledge of enemy ship movements.
