My experience has been that the most critical factor in diplomacy is
when you meet the AI. If you are the first empire that the AI meets, he will declare war on you regardless of what you do. If you are not the first, he will already be at war so he will want to be your friend. The strategic implication is that you want to colonize your own system and nearby systems first to give the AIs time to meet and go to war with each other before you do any long range exploration.
