Partnerships with AI's in PBW game

[Dragonlord]

Hi all,

Question: in a PBW game with both human players (obviously) and AI players, I have Partnership agreements with several AI players. I did this so that I could get access to ship designs of the humans who are exterminating these AI's. Some of these AI races have surrendered to human players (soon to be enemies of mine). Upon receiving the surrender, will the human player get access to all my ship designs from my former Partner?

I really hope that won't be the case...

As far as I know if you have a race surrender to you you know all it does, including ship styles of partners and enemies it has met/made. If you make a partnership agreement with an AI player who also has another agreement with another human player you should be able to see his ship designs as well. Pick and choose your treaties well!

If anyone has information contrary to the above, please correct me

you dont see your partners ship designs, so if the ai surrenders they wont see your ships. notice that you dont have all the latest designs from the AI you partnered with. if you have any at all, its because they are fighting someone else that you have a MA or better with.

one problem with partnerships is as follows:

I partnered with an AI race, and they can then see all my ship movments. even the cloaked ones. they partnered with a race I was fighting. guess what, that revealed where my cloaked ships were, and they got shot down. this really sucked because I had ship designs for just about everyone in the game and I knew that none of them had sensors installed. watch who you partner with, boys and girls.
