I really want to enter Klingon space and explore, but 50,000 DXP is a lot to muster for diplomatic immunity. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with the power to grant it. I want to know what's over there from the FED perspective.

Unfortunately you also cannot grant diplomatic immunity on yourself. You'll always need someone to cast it on you regardless of your diplomacy level.

My smart answer would be... Try Harder... :p

But really, if you just holler out on Chat (nicely) there is ALWAYS Somebody who will grant it to you.

My current toon DASH, isn't up to Tier 3 yet.. so I can't give it to you at this time.


But really... Just ask in Chat... and be willing to meet somebody..

You'll get it.

:)

BTW: if somebody says they want EC's for it... be a Ferengi. ;)

I recommend asking in the global channel DOFFJOBS. We doffers often have to make incursions into enemy space to colonize their star clusters ;)

Really no reason to go to Klingon space. But the best way to go is get your diplomatic exp maxed out.

I randomly grant it to people in social zones out of boredom. I've had it granted to me as well for the same reason. Hang out at DS9 or ESD, someone will eventually give it to you.

[EDIT] I was wrong about this mission needing diplomatic immunity, it needs the mission descriptions fixed.

You need it to complete one of the Klingon episodes but at that point in the game you have no way of getting it and the mission description doesn't even tell you how to obtain it. In fact it gives the wrong information, it tells you to go to the wrong system.

They should make it so that completing the first part of the mission grants you access to a NPC on say K7 that can grant it to you. They should also remove the travel bonus associated with it and slap it on something like Engineering Tier 3.

[EDIT] Actually I'm wrong the mission description is just stuffed up you don't need to enter Klingon Space itself.

Ummmm.... I think perhaps you're missing some information...

That mission dosen't require you to actually go into Klingon Space (OMEGA LEONIS) to do it...

Unfortunately you also cannot grant diplomatic immunity on yourself. You'll always need someone to cast it on you regardless of your diplomacy level.That's not true. I'm max diplo and I always have it automatically on myself.

Wrong. Once you gain the ability, you can enter Klingon please whenever you please. No need to 'cast' it.

I routinely throw it on ships in passing in sector space. Even if they aren't trying to go to OL, the speed boost is useful anywhere (in sector space).

I just wish other people would throw it on me once in awhile, especially my non-VA's that don't have Quantum Slipstream. :(

When you gain the Diplomatic Immunity ability, you also have the required flag to be able to enter Omega Leonis. The Diplomatc Immunity ability allows you to flag others and gives them the (much deprecated) Warp Speed boost.

Any boost is better than nothing. Especially at the beginning. I like to give them to Miranda's parked near me while I'm waiting on DOff assignments to wrap up.

Unless someone is a low level and thus flying a slow ship and unlikely to have accumulated enough DXP on their own then please don't do that.

Diplomatic Immunity can actually lower people's warp speed to the old maximum from warp 10. I've been hit with this and hate it. It borders on griefing and I'd really like to see a fix for it where the warp speed buff was actually, you know, still a buff for me.

If you can grant it then you don't need anyone to cast it on you. Anyone with the grant power has the ability to enter KDF space.

It affects warp? Why?

I'm not doubting you but that's a dumb side-effect the devs put in if true.

It's supposed to give a "warp speed bonus" (that was always supposed to be the case) and it does for slower ships. However if you're travelling above the old maximum (which I do with, like, all of my ships) it drops you to that. I imagine this is a bug.

I believe the general thinking behind it giving a speed buff is that it's supposed to allow you to travel a little more directly and less cautiously because you needn't fear running into any potential issues. Sort of a "meta" thing.

Before Driver Coils Captain skill, the only source of extra Warp Speed was the Borg Set Engine. Diplomatic Immunity is a nice boost to have on you at lower level.

Actually, it auto grants itself on you (if you have it) for Feds whenever you enter Omega Leonis. (It may for KDF too whe n they enter Sirus, but I've yet to get Maurading 4 on my KDF character to test if that's the case.)

Marauding Force and Diplomatic Immunity are granted at rank three not four.

You "sort of" get it self-cast though. You don't get the speed "bonus" (haha) by unlocking the ability, you do however get the ability to enter enemy sectors.

Why would you want to grant it to yourself, anyway? If you can grant it, you already have it.

Because in my excelsior with borg engines i go warp 20 in sector, warp 30 in slipstream normally. When my buddy cast diplo on me i go warp 25 in sector and warp 35 in slipsyream. I have tier 4 diplo btw.

Diplomatic Imunity is a passive skill when you get it you can cast it on firends so they can explore and hit 9.975 warp speed. I have the power and it is fun to cast on random low level characters and watch them speed up faster than the stars.

I stand corrected. You are correct. You, and the others that have corrected me. :)

I figure I never had it and I only tried to go in when someone else granted it on me since I've been Tier 3. I just tested this out right now and I can warp into KDF space no problem. Sorry for the mis-information.

Strange thing about that is, the other day I was able to venture into Klingon space WITHOUT this buff. However I do have diplomacy maxed.

Either it's a bug, or we no longer need another person to cast it on us if we're maxed out on diplomacy.

EDIT: I guess it was changed some time back and I never read about it. :D

So, if you're Diplomatic rank 3, the only way to get the speed buff is to have it casted on you?

That's a bummer. I was wondering how I get the skill to work properly.

And, how does this help max out diplomatic experience?
