- If hostilities had already started before communication was possible, give an option to immediately declare formal war after first contact takes place and ships are NOT kicked out of each other's space
- If war is not immediately declared and one empire kidnapped crewmembers from another empire's ships, give them an option to immediately return this crew and their ship to their empire after communications are possible for some normalizing of relations
- If war is not immediately declared and one empire attacked ships from the other empire or killed their captured crewmembers, give them a chance to "Issue a formal apology" that grants some penalties but actively gives the other empire an influence boost and temporary stability boost.
- If an empire's crew was kidnapped and is not returned by the aggressor after communications are possible, grant the wargoal "Rescue our own" for 5 years, which works like humilliate wargoal but also grants a temporary stability boost if successful, as the crew is effectively rescued.
