[Alpha Kodiak]

I tried an experiment Last night. I changed the "Maximum Systems to Defend at a Time" setting to 50 (well more than the number of systems the Rage have) and waited to see what would happen. And waited. And Waited. The only change was that the number of ships milling around the warp point slowly declined as more and more of them were sent off in different directions (presumably because the AI now had more perceived threats to defend against). But, after a good fifteen or twenty turns, there were still a dozen attack ships dancing around in front of the blocked warp point.

Perhaps Gimboid's idea has something to do with it. I'll have to do some more experimentation.
