Why Can't We Lie Sometimes?
There are times where I'd like the option to be "dishonorable" and you know something? I'd be okay if it had an adverse affect on my relationships with certain people (or improved it in some cases)....

Thanks PretzleMe for your private message.
Your comments are very much appreciated.
as to my earlier suggestion with the diplomatic mission... here's a little hypothetical (and it's a tad over simplified, i know)
lets say this later mission has 3 potential outcomes. the first layout depends on you being honest, either you destroyed the facility, or you made the deal. but you never reneged.
so lets say you're in a room full of kett, there's a kett officer who survived the exaltation base, and he's in command of the opposing force. you have work to do, they have their jobs as well, time is an issue for both. you both back down and avoid a fight. or you can duke it out... and they withdraw after a short fight. and you don't waste too much time, and you arrive in a timely manner and save the day. (that's the first 2)
with the last, the kett officer remembers you opens fire without the option for dialogue, and instead of withdrawing he digs in his heals, and you're forced to fight an enraged enemy force to the death, as a result you took to long and there's heavy friendly casualties, and hostiles are more numerous, and with more foes of higher caliber.

Your way could definitely work and I actually didn't think your hypothetical was oversimplified.
Now my idea, is much oversimplified, but:
SpoilerAt some point, one of the high ranking Kett (I want to say Primus?) offers some assistance (in a way) as they see the Archon as needing to go. What if they do not make this offer if you lied in your rescue of the Moshae?
