I really wanted something reactive, like factions reacting to the size of your empire or your actions in their sectors and across the universe.
"Your strength is much greater than mine, stop this or..."
"Are you looking for a fight or..."
"I don't want you mining here!"
"You can build stations, but not that one, no."
Not only in the economy, but what you do now has an impact on the diplomacy of the factions, you know? Then, you can negotiate alternatives and more.
"If you build that, then I want you to build this too."

It is likely diplomacy will be in the style of x3 Farnham's legacy, when it appears.

Re: Diplomacy Wishful Thinking
I worry about things like automated systems like oh we check your power of your Fleet in compare it to ours and there's automatic consequences. What are the biggest things I can think is maybe I have 300 mining ships. Okay that would be kind of Overkill and silly but let's just use it as an example. This could be considered a threat I have the biggest mining flea and I'm doing horrible things and bad bad bad.
Except in my case I'm a private contractor in a sense providing the factions with all the goods they would like I'm really cheap price and really all I'm doing is stimulating the economy and not hampering it. For them to attack me it would only be attacking themselves.
That's just a random example I had on the top of my head. That being said I am really tired of this whole I send out my minors to do their automatic Mining and everyone loves me in the galaxy and I have no enemies. I always wish there was like new enemy factions like Xenon or something or even a more powerful Xenon like there's an option in the game where you can kind of like increase the power of the Xenon themselves. I'd rather just be friends with everyone else in the Galaxy still but I would like to find ways to push or even support say the Xenon somehow to see if they would fight back and destroy the Galaxy more while we fight and support the local factions to try to stop them. But my idea is probably less about diplomacy and more about some sort of scaling model or some sort of difficulty slider that you can kind of like within the game increase to give the Xenon some powers or cheats.
