Second, +20 starfigher combat is an invalid technology. You want your fighters to be good? Spend the money on your carriers. +20 insurgency fighting is iffy in my opinion, but I think the mods won't have any objection.

There's a first thread of the meeting?
Errr, first post. Ahem. just sift around, it;s in there
-edit- Here it is:
On Earth, in a grand conference hall overlooking the warm, equatorial bay of the Sant Tomas port, President Wiśniowiecki stepped up to the podium.
Ships from a number of unexpected sources had arrived, nations which the Republic had not had contact with or had only heard rumors of had sent delegations. There was a Ninian embassy, and diplomats from the distant Empire of the Sun, and a small gaggle of almost absurd-looking creatures from the Straltoc Federation, attended by a somewhat surprised looking interpreter with sweat-stains soaking through his suit. All the ships who had approached Sol carrying ambassadors had been ushered to the Republic building on Poland's tropical colonial holding, at the base of the Katowica space elevator. Holographic representations of those ambassadors unable to make it hung below hovering drones brought in for the purpose, concealing recorders which would send the contents of the meeting back to their masters.
"Ladies, gentlemen." President Wiśniowiecki ran a hand through his blond-grey hair almost nervously, observing the massed crowd of sometimes shocking alien and human forms. "I present to you our initial proposal for the constitution of the Coalition of Nations."

A quick question, Nitram: Where are your agents at this moment? Are they inside the Federal building itself? Are they outside? Are they in the concourse outside of the conference room? In the conference room?

Probably the concourse, unless observers would be allowed within the room. I'll assume there's nice glass to observe inwards since I've been observed visually. Of course, such glass could probably take everything short of an anti-armour missile, with such an important gathering.

Sure, sounds good. However, you should bear in mind that it's not exactly going to be a public place- there'll be journalists, lesser diplomatic functionaries, and security agents, pretty much. Anyone else had better have a damn good excuse, and anyone there would need papers.

At least he didn't use the words 'diplomatic package'.
And anyone else think that we're going to have a massive diplomatic incident on our hands before the game actually starts?

...arresting a Duke isn't a major diplomatic incident already?

Well the Duke is a pirate, so whether or not he enjoys diplomatic privledge has yet to be seen.

Given what he is, I'll vote "guilty" if picked for the trial. Nope, not biased at all.

When has the legality of something had any bearing on whether it's liable to cause a diplomatic incident or not? You could be arresting the Fifth Duke Polaris, Charles Manson, and it'd still be a diplomatic incident.
...not saying that's a bad thing, of course, just sayin.

Well, what determines what makes it an international incident? At the moment, the Pirate King has no allies (that we know of!). So he will get mad, but the protests of a criminal that his fellow criminals have been arrested aren't worth too much. And seeing as how one of the stated purposes of this summit is to eradicate piracy, I can't imagine too many other people are going to be mad.
This is a sure recipe for an international incident if the Polish arrest a diplomat of a recognized country, but since no one has recognized the Pirate Kingdom as a legitimate state (again - that we know of!), this shouldn't cause too many ripples.
Unless someone wants to begin the game by casting in their lot with pirates who are currently under arrest for suspicious activities near the most important political summit ever. That would be smart.
