A talent that gives a discount when getting introductions

[grävling]

I think Military Officers should have one for when asking FDF Commanders, Flight Academy Provosts, Military Commanders, Starport Commanders, and Warlords for Introductions. Because people in the service do each other that sort of a favour all of the time.

I think that Diplomats should have a similar one for asking Court Seers, High Princes, Princes, and Politicians because copnnections is the real currency that Pols deal in.

Great suggestion, will look into it!

Wondering if we could simplify the rules about who you get a discount on ... Military Officers could get a discount from anyone who offers Military Rank. Something other than a list of contact's X, Y, Z is needed.

Well, I got my list by looking up 'Military Missions' and 'Diplomatic Missions' in Contact Services. Somehow Starport Commanders made my military list, though, and they do 'Economic Missions'. So far, what I see is that they do Blockade Missions, which seems rather Military to me. At any rate, if 'hands out rank' is used, you will get a superset of my list.

If we have the Diplomatic Corp all scratching each other's backs then 'Does Diplomatic Missions' seems to get most of them. Are Judges and Prison Wardens Pols? If so we could add Transport and Capture to the list. Senate Liason and Smuggler Princes are also being left out here, for the Pol list -- is that a good idea?

Maybe we want a talent for a third sort of grouping -- if you have the Greedy, Corrupt or Underworld Trait, you give discounts to other shady sorts (so make this a Smuggler or Pirate talent).

Speaking of which, I love that Smuggler Prince is now a thing.
