Default Re: How many warp points can you open in the same sector?

Nope, you could effectively lock yourslf in. Obviously this could caus game balance issues, since a player could simply isolate himself in times of trouble.

For this reason I think changes need to be made:
-allow infinite warp points per system.
-introduce warp point blocker facilities
-introduce successive levels of warp point creator which can be blocked by successive levels of blocker, much like cloaking now. (ie my enemy has a level 3 blocker in his system, so I have to research wp creator 4)

I also like the "initial instability" idea suggested in the current FTL thread. Perhaps a time limit could be imposed on the closure of warp points (ie can't close it immediately after opening it), so opening a wp into enemy territory leaves your systems exposd as well.

All hard code of course...
