Good question. I only ever surrendered really early in games when it doesn't matter too much (your RP is only slightly negative). After that, I tended to shoot first and shoot later. Only ever so slightly less diplomatic, but results in a lot less accidental executions.
You've raised a good question though and I'll have to do a bit of experimentation ... I might start up a new character and see how long Thulun take to execute me. I just can't bring myself to surrender to Steel Song ...

I had my poor little test pilot bug the hell out of Thulun. He was arrested 3 times at -10, -15, -30. At -35 he was deemed a hated criminal and when I hit "Surrender", it warned me "This ship is controlled by a Faction that will execute the Captain".
Kinda useful to know. I surrendered and was consequently executed. Do I have guilt that I played so badly? ... yeah actually I do ... I'm going to have to take my higher level characters in to wipe out part of Thulun's fleet

Ha ha ... I blockaded a Thulun planet for about 4 game years and blew up dozens of pesky Thulun ships. I felt a great weight lift off my shoulders as I avenged poor executed Captain Cannonfodder.
Cory - potential bug though ... if you mash the blockade button (or surveillance button) multiple times, the toast popups just queue up. After 4 years of blockade action, I had a few minutes worth of toasts scrolling through my screen. It made it hard for me to view the battle victory screens and take Thulun cargo. I persevered though, because the persecution of Thulun was just and right. The universe smiled on me while I smited the heck out of that evil house.

You can get the same behavior in the spice hall if you hit the "entertain" or "round of spice" button multiple times.

Or I've become unstuck in time.
I've been known to offer toasts in inappropriate places before, myself.
"Look, buddy, it's just a fluoride rinse. Swish it and spit."

I am looking into what it will take to build my own custom Toast system.
The Android OS toast is not very smart. I cannot clear them or make them stop following you around to other applications.

That would be great, I had to turn all the toasts off just to keep them from driving me nuts. I've had to reset my phone before cuz they wouldn't leave me alone.
