Default Re: Do the regular Empires do Stellar Manipulation?

Oh, the frustration of building worm holes.

I sent four Battle Cruisers and two Carriers loaded with 104 Heavy Fighters each (naively) through a warp point and ran right into a mine field.

Then, I opened a wormhole from another system hoping to bypass the mine field. Nope, it opened the warp point right on top of the other one. This fleet of six Battle Cruisers ran into the mine field and also perished!

(Later, I did build a wormhole from a sector that looked a bit safer and took great delight in destroying every one of his planets.)

I think one of the beta testers said he was pretty surprised when the new AI opened a wormhole to his home system and sent a fleet of dreadnaughts, etc through. I can't wait!
