Might want to note that the "put static defenses on your side of the warp point for first strike ability" will NOT work if it is a one-way warp point coming from the enemy's system to yours... I learned that quickly in Furball IV - all my base were clustered up in the corner since the game didn't "see" any warp point in the sector (it was only an exit point)!
Oh, and you HAVE to include the "sneaky drone launcher hiding in a nebula or cloaked", not to mention its even more devious cousing, the "sneaky drone launcher hiding in a nebula or cloaked and firing CLOAKED DRONES!!!"
(You CAN cloak drones, right???)
