Ok I got it... it's like exploration gameplay where we are required to shoot plants with a scanner

Someone suggested to have our guns renamed to Diplomacy... Manticore Diplomacy could provide all the gameplay you need :/

PS: No, there are no diplomacy missions that I've seen.

At a guess? They're considering the fee negotiation with NPC mission givers as diplomacy.

Other than that? i got nuthin.

Yes, they have been for years.

They are assassination missions.

It would be a diplomatic mission if an NPC gives me the task to negotiate a mission reward with another mission giver then

Don't forget the smear campaign gameplay. Odyssey is practically full of it.

Then again, given the way many people post on these boards...i can forgive fdev for not thinking diplomacy was something players might be invested in.

Players decided to resolve diplomatic issues with weapons.

Silence from the CMs on this?
At least they're consistent

We had this discussion a few days ago. We established we have shotgun diplomacy. See, when you are looking for cat meme in hab, ask the dude living in it BEFORE you shoot him in the face.
That's diplomacy.
Also, free related meme :

Frontier are currently thinking of a diplomatic answer to this question.

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say 'No'.
I'm vainly hoping the new mission type mentioned in the 'roadmap' will be diplomacy, but I'm expecting another flavor of FPS.
