Diplomatic Immunity?

I recently hit Tier 3 in Diplomacy and I was super-excited to try out "Diplomatic Immunity" as I figured it would make my DOff runs much quicker. Much to my dismay, I noticed that it only works on others and you cannot buff yourself with it.

Is there any particular reason why this is? I mean, I worked my butt off to get the ability and I can't even use it for myself?

    1. it's a space buff for other ships that don't have it.
    2. you have it
    3. it's before the events of 'shaka, when the falls fell'
    4. it needs to be updated

    Extending on what deaftravis said: the basic idea is (or rather, was) that you now have Diplomatic Immunity, granting you the ability to fly through "hostile" space (KDF space as Feds and vice-versa). Additionally, as someone who possesses Diplomatic Immunity, you're able to extend that immunity to others, allowing them to also fly through hostile space. When Sector Space got its massive revamp a while ago, this ability became moot as there were no longer sector walls to perform Immunity checks. The only remaining use for this power is the sector space speed boost, and because it can only be applied to others and not yourself it's kind of questionable at that. It definitely needs an update but it's hardly something I would consider a priority.

    The universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke.

    effect should be a passive boost to self with the ability to share with others as a buff.

    If you ran into Officer Murtaugh, it may have been revoked.

    I chuck this on random people whenever I fly through sector space. I don't think most people notice though.

    And here I was thinking of posting that when I saw this thread!

    Anyways...OP...don't you think it would be a little corrupt if you could grant yourself diplomatic immunity? :p

    Agreed, why do others get the boost, when we ourselves have immunity as well...........Oh wait, no we don't anymore D-oh!

    I have NEVER seen the point in this. Before the Sector Space revamp, it used to let you into KDF space for example, but you couldn't access duty officer assignments and most importantly...I couldn't visit Kronos! I would have just loved to have a walk around at my FED toon :-(

    @kayajay Before the revamp it did give access to doff assignments, specifically the four nebula chains is what most people used it for. And prisoner exchange showed up very frequently in the area

    actually, it should have given you access to the cluster doff missions.​​
