Currently you start your relationship with another empire in "cold war".
Which is a bad way to start unless you are a warmonger (which you could be).
Peace needs to be researched (which is stupid but a separate topic) so is not an option from start..
There should be a new diplomacy state called "Neutral".
The effects would be:
State | Battles inside influence zones | Battles outside influence zones | Attacking outposts | Borders | Trade | Sharing vision or Empire details |
War | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed | Closed | Closed | Nothing |
Cold war | Starts war | Allowed | Allowed | Closed | Closed | Nothing |
Neutral | Starts war | Starts cold war | Starts cold war | Opened | Allowed | Allowed |
Peace | Starts war | Starts war | Starts war | Opened | Allowed | Allowed |
Allies | Starts war | Starts war | Starts war | Opened | Allowed | Allowed |
One point I am still not sure about is if in cold war attacking an outpost (not a colony) should be allowed or an act of war.
It is in a way attacking another empire but in the same way is attacking ships outside of influence zones.
It is not a mistake that when in neutral state attacking outside influence zone or an outpost shifts to cold war only.
If you are at peace then something like that is an act of war.
If you are neutral consequences are not so big.
