you sort of can't ally people until they pop up in your neighbour list...
I think if you send ships near them, you can ally with them.
If Vellos helps me kill Oldry I'll split the two planets with him.
I'm willing to split planets with you both too, but that will be much further in the future when I'm done with PeterKaan.
De Legro you have to send some big fleet over and support us.
He's helping me out with PeterKaan, but those fleets have been flying in for a while now. Whilst I can't speak for him, I'm sure De-Legro is tied up with Heirulf's posturing and conquering Adanedhel whilst he's away.
Nathan you're trading much better on steel, keep throwing stuff at him until he realises cruisers suck.
That's my every intention now. Throwing Subspacers at him until I run out of money (open trading really helps here) and then I'll start on big things like Battleships with some covering fire ships (Frigates/ Destroyers).
