List of Factions you can invite to the Embassy

[Blaze1st]

Sooo... 8.0 is out and I'm rounding up my Ambassadors figuring out who sits in the remaining chairs.

20 seats now confirmed occupied +1 for the player:

1. BUC/TEM (BUC must become TEM)
2. YAK
3. CAB/CUB (shared chair presumed, CAB confirmed)
4. FRF
5. HOP
6. RHA/ZYA (shared chair presumed, ZYA confirmed)
7. TER
8. MIN
9. PAR/TRI (shared chair presumed, PAR confirmed)
10. TEL
11. -PLAYER CHAIR-
12. ARG
13. BOR
14. ALI
15. ANT
16. PIO
17. HAT
18. RIP
19. QUE
20. VIG
21. SCA (BETA ONLY - must complete their terraforming project first)

(Thanks @ValComdriver for ordering the list!)

No seat for FAF (no representative to request an ambassador from).

TBC:

RHA and ZYA can't coexist under any circumstance (at least I don't think so) so presumably they share a chair. In the same vein CAB/CUB and PAR/TRI also share seats repectively since they are also mutually exclusive in all circumstances so far as I am aware.

I assume the Fallen Familys are an oversight because the relations window suggest you can invite a Diplomat, except theres no Rep to ask. I have heard one can increase relations with them through signal leak missions in Free Familys space

Yes I have 10 rep with them to stop them marauding my ships but they have no representative.

SCA has one but won't offer me a diplonat yet, I'm hoping they will after I complete their terraforming. Same for TEM if I resolve the Paranid plot to three factions.

On that note, good job I recently switched focus to saving HOP with the new sector connecting Black Hole Sun to Holy Vision. I was wondering why there were so many ARG supporting ANT today...

[Blaze1st]

VIG confirmed and added to list.

[Val Comdriver]

Currently have only 2 empty seats (found FRF diplomat) 1 empty seat +1 for me. I'm in friendly state with almost everyone.
My diplomats are (clockwise from the left):

1. BUC/TEM
2. YAK
3. CAB
4. FRF
5. HOP
6. ZYA
7. TER
8. MIN
9. PAR
10. TEL
11. -PLAYER CHAIR-
12. ARG
13. BOR
14. ALI
15. ANT
16. PIO
17. HAT
18. RIP
19. QUE
20. VIG
21. -EMPTY-

I believe two empty chairs are for SCA (after terraforming maybe? haven't tried yet) and FRF (says diplomat:vacant in the list)
Going to try FRF later, don't have their HQ sector explored yet

Update: FRF diplomat took the chair #4, between CAB and HOP.

Fantastic, thank you! I didn't even realise the one in the middle is a player chair, that explains the missing one!

Also confirms QUE/TEM and presumably SCA become available which fills all the chairs in my list and by extrapolation confirms FAF are excluded from having a chair.

Presumably that also means ZYA/RHA and CUB/CAB potentially share seats and can't co-exist.

Hope you don't mind I stole your ordered list when editing the original post since you went to the effort all credit to you!

Chair 21 is indeed for the SCA, got the full table in my game.

Thanks for confirming!

That presumably completes the list.

You're missing TRI. I suppose TRI takes chair of PAR.

Good spot. Added to OP, thank you!

I'm still missing the SCA ambassador. I've already completed the terraforming mission, they are a "real" faction, and I have 30 rep with them.

That single empty seat in the Embassy chamber makes my eye twitch every time I walk into the room

The faction rep at the Pirate Base HQ doesn't give me a Diplomacy dialogue option ... is that solitary seat destined to stay vacant forever ?

That's unfortunate! Might be a little while before I finish it still got 4 Arcologies to build but I'm putting up a big Advanced Electronics factory at the moment to speed things up.

Might be worth submitting a bug report...

I'll update when it's finished if I get the same issue. Might be worth submitting a bug report...

There does seem to be problems with the SCA diplomat currently, going by what i can read on forums/reddit. Not sure what is needed to get him. I finished the SCA terraforming project, know their HQ sector & station (The Cove) & I am part of the SCA 'trade' guild.

Current status of my Embassy (to support the list): Embassy Council screenshot

Plot choices made:
- Split: Betray cabal (creates CAB faction & keeps ZYA). -> alternative outcome factions would be CUB & RHA
- Paranid Civil war on fire; changes BUC into TEM & makes them eligible for a diplomat; The 3 Paranid factions live to murder each other from this point onward. Alternative outcome turns PAR & HOP into TRI (taking PAR seat); BUC remains BUC & cannot have a diplomat.
- Yaki pirate plot; least sure of this one, chances are Diplomat only gets unlocked after the Yaki rep gets unlocked through the plot.

Fun detail I picked up, if you want Agents, you first need to have the HAT plot finished, so Dal can give you the mission to get your first agent.

[Blaze1st]

I can confirm YAK just needs rep unlocked, I only did their plot to that point for ship BPs and to stop them raiding me.

Some more news regarding the SCA diplomat; according to this post by egosoft you're not supposed to be able to invite a SCA diplomat; Must been patched out between beta & release.

Thanks, I put a BETA ONLY tag next to it for now.
