How exactly does war work in regards to allies? Can you ask an ally to attack a certain system at a certain time? Can you coordinate joint fleet actions?
I hope there is a mechanic like there is in EU4. Where we can flag certain systems that we want our allies to attack/defend, go to. I doubt we will have the ability to tell them WHEN exactly to follow through with those suggestions, but being able to make the suggestions should be enough. It works well enough in EU4.
It also depends on what FTL method each ally have. On the latest blorg stream, it does seems to me that the reason the blorg allies took some time to follow them at a point in the war, is because they had wormholes that needed some preparation while the blorgs had warp so they could move right away.
I do hope this will be worked upon, though the Allied AI seems pretty good already.
It especially becomes crucial in majors wars, as the one we are about to see in the next Blorg stream.
