How exacly does diplomatic pacts work?

from Sins Forums

I wonder exactly how the diplomacy pacts work, and if you get greater benefits if you do them with another faction. For example lets say I play Advent and do the research pact with another Advent player, then he and I both get 48% faster research and 5% cost reduction right? What happens when he then offers research pact to me? do we both get an additional 48 and 5%?  and what if im doing this in relation to a tec player where he instead offers trade pact.

I'm pretty sure that if you sign a pact with someone, then they can't offer the same pact to you, because you already have it.  I'm pretty sure (someone confirm this) that you can have only one pact per row on the "Manage Pacts" screen.

I'd like someone to check this though.

Yeah, you can only have one pact of each type, so it gives you the maximum range of bonuses to make pacts with players of a different race.

No, this is wrong, you can both offer and accept the same pact.
