Rules:
You can post new information here, or email it to diploguide@stonewallfleet.com with the topic “FDC Guide”. THIS IS NOT a place that will tell you what answers to pick without having to read anything.
(Trek Trivia questions would be the only exception to this, as not everyone is obsessive about Trek Trivia!)

Intro:
Season 2 added a new facet to the game, Diplomatic Missions! These missions range from First Contact to Story Line style Diplomatic missions where you meditate disputes, negotiate treaties and learn about new races and new civilizations!

By doing diplomatic missions you gain XP, DXP and bridge officer points. DXP gain you levels in the Federation Diplomatic Corps., allowing you to rank up to get new gear, titles and other fun stuff!

Missing the "Taste of Home" diplomatic mission. Easiest diplomatic mission ever.

It's not a story line FDC mission, so it's under other ways to earn DXP

Thanks, this is fantastic!

Also Star, check the Misc section

made a number of spelling and other minor changes to the guide

i've done 5 exploration sequences in a row, 15 planets and not a single diplomatic mission.
any clues why?

Not all explore missions grant DXP.

They need to be:

Missions that have no combat objective (kill XXX squads, etc)
Can't be Scan Anomalies
Can't be the scan prob fragments w/ hostile aliens ground mission

Other than that, unless the mission is bugged in general, you should get DXP.

Check the guide for more details.

Excellent post! Even more excellent than it was on Tribble!

thank you very much!
